No Linux download :-(

Nevertheless it's fairly easy to install[1]. If you have docker, you can just run the image to try it out:

     docker run -p 8080:8080 -p 8081:8081 --pull always livebook/livebook

You may want to configure some things, so check out the options[2].:

If you want a "native" install, after you have elixir installed you can use

     mix escript.install hex livebook

and start it with

     livebook server

Check out the readme for more configuration options[1]

They discussed it, but no one has taken it on yet. I think Wojtek Mach(the desktop initial author) is a mac user, and they actively wanted to provide a way for windows users to easily try it.

We don't plan to add Linux support ourselves at the moment but we'd love if someone contributed that. As was mentioned elsewhere it might be challenging to provide a bundle that works across different distributions so investigating the possible options would be an important first step.

That's what I assumed was the case. Seems like a good opportunity for the community to take on for major distros.

An AppImage or Flatpak package would make a great starting point that works across distributions. Making Livebook more accessible to Linux developers would improve its adoption, as well as the adoption of Elixir, Phoenix, and Fly.io.

Have you looked into nix? Works for mac and linux.
