# Linux

## 1. Download the installation package

Open [official download page](https://cherryai.com.cn/download/v2), select **Linux**. The official website provides installation packages in different formats depending on the system and architecture:

| Usage scenario                      | Recommended choice                                                 |
| ----------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Ubuntu, Debian, Linux Mint          | Choose the one that matches your architecture `.deb` package.      |
| Fedora, RHEL, openSUSE              | Choose the one that matches your architecture `.rpm` package.      |
| Other distributions or portable use | Choose the one that matches your architecture `.AppImage` package. |

Intel / AMD devices usually choose the x64 (or x86\_64) version; ARM devices choose the ARM64 (or aarch64) version. If you're unsure of the architecture, run in the terminal `uname -m`:`x86_64` corresponds to x64,`aarch64` or `arm64` corresponds to ARM64.

## 2. Install and launch

* `.deb` and `.rpm`: Prefer using your distribution's software installer or package manager to open the installation package, then launch Cherry Studio from the applications menu.
* `.AppImage`: After granting the file executable permission, double-click it to run; you can also run in the terminal `chmod +x filename.AppImage` to launch it.

## Cannot start

First confirm that the installation package matches your system architecture. If AppImage cannot be started and shows `FUSE` or `libfuse` related errors, please install the corresponding compatibility component according to your current distribution's official documentation.

If it still cannot start, please include the distribution, desktop environment, device architecture, installation package name, and the complete error message in your feedback.

## Next step

After you see the Cherry Studio main interface, continue to complete the quick start.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.cherryai.com.cn/docs/en-us/cherry-studio/installation/linux.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
