+title: Install Msty on Linux
+description: Learn how to install Msty on your Linux machine
+---
+
+Follow the instructions below to install Msty's .AppImage or .deb installer on your Linux machine.
+
+## Download Msty
+
+If you haven't downloaded Msty already, get started by <a href="https://msty.app?ref=docs" target="_blank">downloading</a> it first.
+
+## Installing Msty
+
+Once you have downloaded Msty, navigate to the directory where you downloaded the installer from the terminal.
+
+::tabs{variant="card"}
+
+  ::div{label="AppImage" icon="ph:linux-logo"}
+  ### AppImage
+
+  From the terminal, run the following command to make the downloaded AppImage file executable:
+
+  ```sh
+  chmod a+x ./<DownloadedFileName>.AppImage
+  ```
+
+  Then run the following command to open Msty from the terminal:
+
+  ```sh
+  ./<DownloadedFileName>.AppImage --no-sandbox
+  ```
+
+  Note: You may need to install appropriate packages like libfuse2 (if your system does not have them already) inorder to run the AppImage file.

+
+  ::div{label="deb" icon="tabler:brand-debian"}
+  ### deb
+
+  From the terminal, run the following command to install Msty on your system:
+
+  ```sh
+  sudo apt install ./<DownloadedFileName>.deb
+  ```
+
+  Once the installation finishes, run the following command to run Msty from the terminal:
+
+  ```sh
+  msty
+  ```
+  
+  ::alert{type="info" icon="tabler:info-circle"}
+  Sometimes the installation may experience permission issues if the '_apt' user does not have enough privileges. In that case, run the following two commands to mitigate this issue and then run Msty again.
+
+  ```sh
+  sudo chown root:root /opt/Msty/chrome-sandbox
+  ```
+  
+  ```sh
+  sudo chmod 4755 /opt/Msty/chrome-sandbox
+  ```
