Changes Older versions and checksums are available on the releases page. If downgrading from a newer version because you use an add-on that hasn't been updated yet, please make sure you use the Downgrade & Quit button first. Installation If you do not have 'make' installed, you will need need to install it first - eg on Ubuntu, 'sudo apt install make' On recent Ubuntu installations, please use 'sudo apt install libxcb-xinerama0' before running Anki. Once downloaded, the following commands in a terminal window will install Anki system-wide. The $ is the prompt character, and shouldn't be typed in. Make sure what you're entering in matches the file you downloaded. $ tar xjf Downloads/anki-2.1.26-linux-amd64.tar.bz2 $ cd anki-2.1.26-linux-amd64 $ sudo make install Problems If Anki won't start, run 'QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1 anki' in a terminal to see if any error messages appear. Chances are you are missing a library that Anki requires, and the error message should indicate what is missing. Installing the library via your distro's tools (eg apt-get) should fix the problem. Upgrading If you were running Anki from a .deb/.rpm/etc in the past, please make sure to remove the system version before installing the package provided here. If you're upgrading from a previous package, simply repeat the installation steps to upgrade to the latest version. Your user data will be preserved. Notes Some Linux distributions include Anki in their repositories. We've seen many users experience problems with these distributed versions, due to them being out of date or missing appropriate libraries. For this reason, the compiled package above is recommended over using the version of Anki bundled with your Linux distribution. Gnome users: to get GTK themes working, please see this page.

Source code You are welcome to run Anki from source, but the source code is provided without any support - when running from source the expectation is that you will ensure all the required dependencies are installed, and address any issues you encounter on your own. If you run into issues and require support, please use the packaged versions we provide instead, as they are built with library versions that are known to be working. Source tarballs
