This guide will walk you through installing Timodesk on Linux using the provided installer script.

Important Linux Requirement

Install FUSE / libfuse2 first

Before opening Timodesk, make sure your system has FUSE / libfuse2 installed. Timodesk uses an AppImage on Linux, and AppImages need FUSE support to run properly.

Common error if FUSE is missing

dlopen(): error loading libfuse.so.2

AppImages require FUSE to run.

Check if libfuse is already installed

Open Terminal and run:

ldconfig -p | grep libfuse.so.2

Install libfuse

Ubuntu / Debian

sudo apt update
sudo apt install libfuse2 -y

Fedora

sudo dnf install fuse fuse-libs

Arch Linux

sudo pacman -S fuse2

After installing

Open Timodesk again
Note: If Timodesk installs successfully but does not open, missing libfuse2 is usually the first thing to check.

Step 1: Download Timodesk

Download the Timodesk for Linux package from the official website. You will receive a ZIP file.

Step 3: Open File Properties

This will:

  • Install Timodesk
  • Set up icons
  • Add Timodesk to your application menu

Done!

Timodesk is now successfully installed on your Linux system. If you face any issues, make sure:
