Linux Installation

Requirements

  • X11 session required - Wayland is not supported yet (Wayland compatibility is being worked on for version 1.9.0)

Installation Methods

Open a terminal and run:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Kieirra/murmure/main/install.sh | sh

This script downloads and installs the latest version of Murmure for your system.

Use native curl

If you have curl installed via Snap, this may fail due to Snap sandboxing. Use the system curl from apt instead: sudo apt install curl

  1. Download Murmure_amd64.deb from the official website (or GitHub Releases)
  2. Install: 
    sudo dpkg -i Murmure_amd64.deb

GLIBC compatibility

The .deb package is built on Ubuntu 24.04 and requires GLIBC 2.38+. If you're on Ubuntu 22.04 or older, use the AppImage instead.

  1. Download Murmure_amd64.AppImage from the official website (or GitHub Releases)
  2. Make it executable: 
    chmod +x Murmure_amd64.AppImage
  3. Run it: 
    ./Murmure_amd64.AppImage

For Ubuntu 22.04, a legacy AppImage build (Murmure_amd64.legacy.AppImage) may be available in some releases.

Known Linux Issues

  • Wayland: Not supported. Murmure requires an X11 session. Wayland compatibility is being actively developed for version 1.9.0.
  • xUbuntu: "fast text entry is not possible on X11" warning from the Enigo library - this is cosmetic and can be ignored
  • Diacritics in Direct mode: Some Linux configurations may not display accented characters correctly when using the "Direct (type text)" insertion mode
