What is this?
Auracle for Linux is the native GNOME desktop companion, built with GTK4 and Libadwaita. It reads what you connect to auracle and keeps a local copy of what it has fetched.
How do I run it?
Make it executable, then run it: chmod +x Auracle-x86_64.AppImage && ./Auracle-x86_64.AppImage
Keep it somewhere you can write to, such as ~/Applications, so it can
update itself in place.
It does not bundle a GTK runtime. Your desktop needs GTK 4.12 or newer and Libadwaita 1.5 or newer already installed, which a stock GNOME desktop on a current Ubuntu, Debian or Fedora release has.
How do I check what I downloaded?
A SHA256SUMS-linux file sits beside the download. Put it in the same
folder and run:
sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS-linux
How does it stay up to date?
Every change to the app publishes a new build. The AppImage checks for one when it starts and every few hours after that. It downloads the build in the background and refuses any build not signed with our release key. Then it asks you to restart.
Is it accessible?
A full manual pass with a screen reader, keyboard only, high contrast and large text has not been done on this build. If something does not work with assistive technology, please tell us — that is the gap most likely to have missed it.
Questions about the rest of auracle live on the FAQ, and every other surface is on the download page.
