Where to find it

Before the first launch

Choose a package that matches your operating system. A .deb filename does not mean that the package works on every Debian-based distribution.

AppImage and Flatpak are not tied to the Debian or Ubuntu package manager. They are also intended for other Linux distributions, including Fedora and openSUSE with RPM packages. You do not convert them to RPM. Matching processor architecture and system requirements still matter; this DinoX package has not been tested on every older distribution.

Flatpak support must be installed, and the required runtime is installed separately. An AppImage starts directly as an executable file but still needs basic system libraries. A DEB must match the stated distribution and version.

What do the choices mean?

Windows

Extract the whole ZIP. Keep the extracted folder together and open dinox.exe inside it. Do not move the EXE on its own: it needs the other files.

Ubuntu 24.04 / Linux Mint 22

Install the DinoX DEB with your package manager. From the download folder you can also use: sudo apt install ./dinox_2.3.2_amd64.deb. APT obtains required libraries from your configured repositories.

Debian 13 based on Trixie

Use AppImage or Flatpak. The Ubuntu DEB requires different library versions. Do not try to bypass missing libgpgme11t64 or libicu74 with development packages, Ubuntu repositories or a forced installation.

AppImage

Allow the file to run as a program in its file properties, then open it. The additional .sources.tar.xz archive is not needed to run the application.

Flatpak

Open the .flatpak file with a Flatpak-capable software manager, or install it with flatpak install --user ./dinox-2.3.2-x86_64.flatpak. Flatpak also installs the required runtime. Its local data is separate from DEB and AppImage.
