Linux installation instructions

This article describes how to install Hiri tarball package on Linux. Alternatively, you can also install Hiri via Snap.

Download the installation file Hiri.tar.gz from the downloads page.

Open a new terminal window and navigate to the folder where you downloaded Hiri:

$ cd ~/Downloads
$ tar xf Hiri.tar.gz
$ cd hiri
$ ./hiri.sh 

Simply follow the wizard to log in to your email. Once you're in, you can create a desktop launcher to be able to start Hiri more easily from your desktop environment. Open:

Settings → Preferences → Create desktop entry.

Hiri icon will now appear in your desktop launcher.

Notes:

• Since Hiri is proprietary, the source code is not provided.
• The download package includes a binary build of Hiri with all the dependencies included, so you don't have to install anything else.
• This is a 64bit build and presently there are no 32bit builds.
  If this error is shown when starting Hiri: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error that means that you're on a 32bit system.

To remove the tarball version, just delete the dir and remove $HOME/.local/share/hiri
