Linux Installation

Prerequisites

Docker Engine

1. Install Docker Engine following the official installation guide
2. Start Docker service:

   sudo systemctl start docker
   sudo systemctl enable docker
   

3. Add user to docker group (optional, avoids using sudo):

   sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
   

   Log out and back in for changes to take effect

X Server

Most Linux distributions come with X11 pre-installed. If you need to install it:

• Ubuntu/Debian: sudo apt install xorg
• Fedora/RHEL: sudo dnf install xorg-x11-server-Xorg (or yum)
• Arch: sudo pacman -S xorg-server

Option 1: Desktop App

Download the pre-built desktop application for your Linux distribution from the Latest Release:

Format	Download
AppImage	TI-Toolbox-{version}.AppImage
Debian/Ubuntu	TI-Toolbox-{version}.deb

Simply download and run the AppImage, or install the .deb package — the app handles Docker management for you.

Option 2: Command Line

Setup Steps

Step 1: Download Required Files

Download these files to your preferred location (e.g., ~/TI-Toolbox/):

• loader.sh
• docker-compose.yml

Step 2: Launch TI-Toolbox

1. Open Terminal
2. Navigate to your download location:

   cd ~/TI-Toolbox/
   

3. Make loader.sh executable:

   chmod +x loader.sh
   

4. Ensure Docker is running:

   sudo systemctl status docker
   

5. Launch TI-Toolbox:

   ./loader.sh
   

6. First run will download Docker images (~30GB) - this may take 30+ minutes

Distribution-Specific Notes

Ubuntu/Debian

• Follow standard Docker installation instructions
• X11 is usually pre-installed

Currently tested primarily on Ubuntu. Please submit an issue if you encounter problems on other distributions.
