Prerequisites

  • Architectures: x64, arm64 (v1.9.0+)
  • Do not run the installer as root.
  • Target directory must be writable by the current user.

Install / Update

By default, the app installs to $HOME. To install to a different location, export ANYTHING_LLM_INSTALL_DIR prior to running the installer.

# Download the installer script
curl -fsSL https://cdn.anythingllm.com/latest/installer.sh -o installer.sh
 
# Make the script executable
chmod +x installer.sh
 
# Run the installer (approving the prompt for Ubuntu apparmor rules is required to prevent SUID bootup issues)
./installer.sh

Run

Launch via desktop UI, or via CLI for full logging:

./AnythingLLMDesktop.AppImage

Uninstall

Run the following commands to remove all files, configurations, and apparmor rules:

# Remove the installer script
rm installer.sh
 
# Remove the AppImage
rm AnythingLLMDesktop.AppImage
 
# Remove the desktop entry
rm ~/.local/share/applications/anythingllmdesktop.desktop
 
# Remove the apparmor rules
sudo rm /etc/apparmor.d/anythingllmdesktop
 
# Remove application data
rm -rf ~/.config/anythingllm-desktop
