# Kariel for Linux 1.0.2 (build 5)

First Linux release for Ubuntu 22.04, x86_64 / amd64.

## Downloads

- `Kariel.deb`: recommended installation on Ubuntu 22.04. APT installs the required system dependencies.
- `Kariel.AppImage`: executable application image. System media and keyring dependencies are still required; this is not a dependency-free package.
- SHA-256 checksum files are provided for both downloads.

## Install the DEB

From the directory containing the downloaded installer:

```bash
sudo apt update
sudo apt install ./Kariel.deb
```

Launch Kariel from the applications menu.

## Run the AppImage

```bash
chmod +x Kariel.AppImage
./Kariel.AppImage
```

## Included in this release

- Image and video import, thumbnails, previews, and conversion.
- PDF thumbnails and viewing.
- Protected-folder unlock, encrypted export, and safe managed copies for encrypted imports.
- External drag-and-drop import and internal asset linking.
- Multiple library windows and window resizing.
- Background browser imports while the desktop window is hidden.
- Kariel Pack export and import.
- Corrected Linux application and Kariel Pack icons.

## Notes

- Interactive 3D rendering remains limited and is not a guaranteed feature of this Linux release.
- Close may keep Kariel running for background imports. Use Kariel's explicit Quit command to stop it.
- Updates are installed manually. Uninstalling the application does not delete libraries or user settings.
- ARM64, RPM, Flatpak, and Snap packages are not part of this release.
