# Run Libation on Ubuntu
This walkthrough should get you up and running with Libation on your Ubuntu machine.
Some limitations of the linux release are:
- Cannot customize how illegial filename characters are replaced.
- The Auto-update function is unavailable
- The "Hangover" app for debugging is not yet available.
## Dependencies
### Dotnet Runtime
You must install the dotnet 6.0 runtime on your machine.
First, add the Microsoft package signing key to your list of trusted keys and add the package repository.
<details>
<summary>Ubuntu 22.04</summary>
```console
wget https://packages.microsoft.com/config/ubuntu/22.04/packages-microsoft-prod.deb -O packages-microsoft-prod.deb
sudo dpkg -i packages-microsoft-prod.deb
rm packages-microsoft-prod.deb
```
</details>
<details>
<summary>Ubuntu 21.10</summary>
```console
wget https://packages.microsoft.com/config/ubuntu/21.10/packages-microsoft-prod.deb -O packages-microsoft-prod.deb
sudo dpkg -i packages-microsoft-prod.deb
rm packages-microsoft-prod.deb
```
</details>
<details>
<summary>Ubuntu 20.04</summary>
```console
wget https://packages.microsoft.com/config/ubuntu/20.04/packages-microsoft-prod.deb -O packages-microsoft-prod.deb
sudo dpkg -i packages-microsoft-prod.deb
rm packages-microsoft-prod.deb
```
</details>
For other distributions, see [Microsoft's instructions for installing .NET on Linux](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/install/linux).
Then install the dotnet 6.0 runtime
```console
sudo apt-get update; \
sudo apt-get install -y apt-transport-https && \
sudo apt-get update && \
sudo apt-get install -y dotnet-runtime-6.0
```
### FFMpeg (Optional)
If you want to convert your audiobooks to mp3, install FFMpeg using the following command:
```console
sudo apt-get install -y ffmpeg
```
## Install Libation
Download the most recent linux-64 binaries zip file and save it as `libation-linux-bin.zip`. Save the 'install-libation.sh' bash script to a file. From the terminal make the script file executable:
<details>
<summary>install-libation.sh</summary>
```BASH
#!/bin/bash
FILE=$1
if [ -z "$FILE" ]
then echo "This script must be called with a the Libation Linux bin zip file as an argument."
exit
fi
if [ "$EUID" -ne 0 ]
then echo "Please run as root"
exit
fi
if [ ! -f "$FILE" ]
then echo "The file \"$FILE\" does not exist."
exit
fi
echo "Extracting $FILE"
FOLDER="$(dirname "$FILE")/libation_src"
echo "$FOLDER"
sudo -u $SUDO_USER unzip -q -o ${FILE} -d ${FOLDER}
if [ $? -ne 0 ]
then echo "Error unzipping ${FILE}"
exit
fi
sudo -u $SUDO_USER chmod +700 ${FOLDER}/Libation
sudo -u $SUDO_USER chmod +700 ${FOLDER}/LibationCli
#Remove previous installation program files and sym link
rm /usr/bin/Libation
rm /usr/bin/LibationCli
rm /usr/bin/libationcli
rm /usr/lib/libation -r
#Copy install files, icon and desktop file
cp ${FOLDER}/glass-with-glow_256.svg /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/libation.svg
cp ${FOLDER}/Libation.desktop /usr/share/applications/Libation.desktop
mv ${FOLDER}/ /usr/lib/libation
chmod +666 /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/libation.svg
gtk-update-icon-cache -f /usr/share/icons/hicolor/
ln -s /usr/lib/libation/Libation /usr/bin/Libation
ln -s /usr/lib/libation/LibationCli /usr/bin/LibationCli
ln -s /usr/lib/libation/LibationCli /usr/bin/libationcli
echo "Done!"
```
</details>
```console
chmod +700 install-libation.sh
```
Then run the script with the libation binaries zipfile as an argument.
```console
sudo ./install-libation.sh libation-linux-bin.zip
```
You should now see Libation among your applications.
