Update Askimo App on Linux

Before You Start

• Your sessions, settings, and API keys in ~/.askimo/personal/ are untouched by the update.
• No uninstall needed — dpkg -i upgrades in place.

Option 1: Debian / Ubuntu (.deb) — Recommended

x64 (AMD/Intel):

wget https://github.com/haiphucnguyen/askimo/releases/latest/download/Askimo-Desktop-linux-x64.deb
sudo dpkg -i Askimo-Desktop-linux-x64.deb
sudo apt-get install -f   # resolve any dependencies if needed

ARM64:

wget https://github.com/haiphucnguyen/askimo/releases/latest/download/Askimo-Desktop-linux-arm64.deb
sudo dpkg -i Askimo-Desktop-linux-arm64.deb
sudo apt-get install -f

Relaunch Askimo from your application launcher or terminal when done.

Option 2: Universal JAR (All Linux Distributions)

Prerequisites: Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 21 or higher.

Choose your architecture:

• x64: askimo-desktop-linux-x64.jar
• ARM64: askimo-desktop-linux-arm64.jar

Update steps:

1. Download the JAR for your architecture.
2. Replace your existing JAR with the new one.
3. Restart Askimo:

java -jar askimo-desktop-linux-x64.jar   # x64
# OR
java -jar askimo-desktop-linux-arm64.jar # ARM64

Troubleshooting

Issue	Fix
Dependency errors after DEB install	Run sudo apt-get install -f
JAR won’t run	Verify Java version: java -version (need 21+)
App still shows old version	Confirm the JAR file was actually replaced
