Should I Choose deb or AppImage for Linux?
First match the processor architecture, then choose the format based on the system-supported installation method.
Choose Architecture First, Then Format
The official download page provides Linux x64 and ARM64 versions, each available as deb and AppImage. Architecture and file format are two separate matters: first confirm the target machine's processor architecture, then select the format suitable for the system. The page's default recommendation may be deb based on browser detection; this detection does not guarantee compatibility with all Linux distributions, so manual verification is especially necessary when downloading for remote machines.
Complete Installation According to Distribution
Use the system-supported software installation method to handle deb files, or run the AppImage file according to the system's method. If the system refuses to execute, first check whether the file is complete, the architecture is correct, and the specific reason given by the operating system. The help documentation does not require setting up a Rust or source compilation environment just to install the desktop application, nor does it recommend ignoring system security warnings to run alternative packages from unknown sources.
Check Tools and Connection After Launch
After successful installation, initiate login from the application, return to the desktop, and wait for "Desktop Application Connected." The Agent uses this host's shell, files, and existing tools; distribution differences may affect command paths and dependencies. First verify the working directory and a read-only operation, then run formal tasks. If the window appears normal but execution is unavailable, connection troubleshooting should be performed instead of repeatedly changing the installation format.
