When you’re done, the Voyager alpha is installed and open on its welcome screen, ready for setup.
Before you start
  • A 64-bit Intel or AMD PC running a desktop Linux distribution. Arm isn’t supported.
  • A Secret Service keyring, such as GNOME Keyring or KWallet, installed and unlocked. Voyager saves your sign-ins there. Most GNOME and KDE desktops have one already.
  • The Linux version is an alpha: recording your screen, letting the agent use other apps and some creative-app features aren’t available. MP4 export needs an extra library (see below). See Requirements.
  • Voyager is free to download.

Choose a package

If you’re not sure, use the AppImage.

Install Voyager

1

Download the AppImage

Sign in at voyager.so, or create a free account, then go to Download in your dashboard. Choose Linux (x64 · AppImage). Move it somewhere you’ll keep it, such as ~/Applications. Voyager updates this file in place, so don’t leave it in a folder you clear out.
2

Make it executable

In a terminal, in the folder where you saved it:
Or open the file’s Properties in your file manager and allow it to run as a program.
3

Open Voyager

Double-click the AppImage, or run it from the terminal:

​
Check it worked

Voyager opens on its welcome screen with a Set up button. Clicking it starts setup, beginning with signing in to your Voyager account in your browser. The AppImage updates itself: new versions download in the background and install when you restart Voyager. With the .deb, download new versions from your dashboard and install each one the same way. See Updates.

​
MP4 export on Linux

Linux has no built-in MP4 (H.264) encoder, and Voyager can’t include one, so out of the box Voyager delivers finished video as WebM instead of MP4. WebM plays in browsers, most video players and most upload sites. If you ask for an MP4, the agent tells you it isn’t available on this computer and offers WebM or image frames instead. MP4 export needs Cisco’s OpenH264 library.

​
If something went wrong

AppImages need FUSE. Install your distribution’s FUSE package (for example libfuse2 or fuse3) and try again. Or start Voyager without FUSE:
Voyager couldn’t save your sign-in. Make sure a Secret Service keyring such as GNOME Keyring or KWallet is installed, running and unlocked, and that you allow Voyager access when it asks. Then sign in again.
You installed the .deb, which doesn’t update itself. Install new versions by hand from your dashboard, or switch to the AppImage.
Click Try Again first. If the message says your disk is full, free up some space, then try again. If it offers Repair and Start, click it: Voyager sets the damaged data aside and keeps everything it can read. If none of that works, get help.
