A super simple Linux desktop app for Notion. No extra trackers, analytics, or bloat. Just Notion. This app creates a new Electron instance and loads the URL https://www.notion.so.
It's compatible with any system that can run a .deb file. If you're running Debian GNU/Linux, Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Pop_OS, or some other flavor of Ubuntu, you're set.
First, head to the releases page here. Then, find the latest release and download the .deb file under the "Assets" dropdown. Your machine may know how to open .deb files automatically, but if not, you can consult this guide. If you're stuck, feel free to open an issue here.
This should create an app named notion.
You can also build the app from source.
-
Open your favorite terminal and enter:
git clone https://github.com/3x/n.git
-
Enter the directory with this command:
cd n -
Install the needed dependencies with npm.
npm install
Don't have npm? No problem. It's free here.
-
Build the app with this command:
npm run package-linux
-
Package the app into an installable
.debfile with this command:npm run create-debian-installer
-
This should have made two nested folders named
dist/installers/. Enter that folder using your file explorer and open the latest file to begin the installation. If your computer does not automatically install.debfiles, you can manually do so by following this guide.
