ABP Studio for Linux

Unofficial Linux installer for ABP Studio.

This repository does not redistribute ABP Studio. It only automates downloading ABP Studio from official ABP/Volosoft sources, then converting, packaging, and installing it locally.

Supported Systems

I have not tested extensively, but it should work on:

Systems/package ecosystem (x86_64)	Package built
Debian, Ubuntu, Mint, Pop!_OS, etc	.deb
Fedora, RHEL, openSUSE, etc	.rpm
Arch, CachyOS, EndeavourOS, etc	.pkg.tar.*

How To Install

Make sure you have the following installed:

• .NET SDK 10.x
• Node.js 20.11 or newer

Clone the repository and run the installer:

git clone https://github.com/bgmulinari/abp-studio-linux.git
cd abp-studio-linux
./install.sh

The installer may use sudo to install required system packages and the generated native package.

Launch ABP Studio:

Run the abp-studio command or open ABP Studio from your application launcher.

Common optional arguments:

• ./install.sh --version <version> installs a specific ABP Studio and ABP CLI version. Default is latest.
• ./install.sh --no-install builds the native package without installing it.
• ./install.sh --force reinstalls even when the target ABP Studio version is already installed.
• ./install.sh --fresh removes generated output before starting.
• ./install.sh -y passes non-interactive confirmation to package managers.

Run ./install.sh --help to see all options.

How It Works

The installer:

1. Checks your local .NET SDK and Node.js versions.
2. Installs required build/package tools, mkcert, and WireGuard tools.
3. Installs or updates the ABP CLI, using that version as the ABP Studio version to download.
4. Downloads the official ABP Studio package for macOS Intel.
5. Converts the app into output/abp-studio-app/ with the matching app-local Linux .NET SDK/runtime.
6. Builds and installs the native package for your distro.

The installed native package provides:

• /usr/bin/abp-studio
• /opt/abp-studio
• /opt/abp-studio/dotnet

Generated files, native packages, work directories, and logs are written under output/. This directory can be removed after installation.
