Install Robonito on Linux

This guide explains how to install and run the Robonito application on Linux systems using a standalone portable AppImage.

Prerequisites

  • Operating System: Ubuntu 20.04+, Debian-based distributions, or equivalent architectures.
  • Permissions: You must have the ability to run chmod shell commands or modify file execution properties.

1. Download the AppImage

Unlike traditional .deb packages, an AppImage is a fully portable software format that contains all dependencies in a single file without requiring a system-level installation.

2. Grant Execution Permissions

Before you can run the AppImage, you must mark it as an executable binary on your system.

Via Terminal:

  1. Open your terminal and navigate to the directory holding the application: 
    cd ~/Downloads
  2. Grant execution rights using chmod: 
    chmod +x Robonito-2.5.0.AppImage

Via GUI (File Manager): Alternatively, right-click the file, select Properties, go to the Permissions tab, and explicitly check the box labeled “Allow executing file as program.”

3. Launch Robonito

Once permissions are properly set, launch the application via your terminal:

./Robonito-2.5.0.AppImage

Alternatively, simply double-click the file tightly inside your visual Desktop Environment to start the Robonito client.
