hi! if you’re using a Linux installation and you plan to use veadotube mini but you’re not sure how to make it work, this is the page for you.

downloading the thing

visit the official download page over itch.io, and over the Download section, click on Download Now. it’ll prompt a donation window; feel free to tip! if you don’t want to, you can just press the No thanks, just take me to the downloads link.

this should take you to the download screen! download the Linux version.

opening the thing

mini comes inside a .zip file; don’t run the app directly from inside the .zip! extract it first. inside the extracted folder, run veadotube mini!

your system might not open it, treating it like as something other than an executable, and for that you might need to change its permissions. in most systems, the following steps should work:

1. open a Terminal window on the folder containing the executable;
2. run chmod +x ./veadotube\ mini.x86_64.

now you should be able to double-click it :]

opening with root access

you might need root access to access hotkey features; for that, in most default Linux installations, the following steps should work:

1. open a Terminal window on the folder containing the executable;
2. run sudo ./veadotube\ mini.x86_64.
