To install our Linux client, it is recommended you download the latest version. 

We would also advise you review our system requirements as the operating system and infrastructure prerequisites are updated regularly.

Each Linux distribution provides a subtlety different software package installation process. Within this topic we will cover two alternatives to install our LucidLink client:

1. A graphical user interface (GUI) package manager
2. Command-Line (Terminal)

Proceeding example(s) will be demonstrated with Ubuntu 22.04 Desktop (GNOME) distribution

Option 1. (GUI)

1. Locate your installation download, right-click the file and select Open With Other Application.

2. Select Software Install and click Select. This will now open in the Ubuntu software install manager.

3. Click Install and allow it to fully complete.

4. You will require administrative privileges to continue. Please provide a valid password, and select Authenticate.

5.Once installed, you will see this reflected in the Ubuntu Software Install manager. You can now launch Lucid from your Applications menu.

Option 2. (Terminal)
