1. [Download Wave](https://www.commandline.dev/download) and extract the file
2. Change to the Wave directory ```cd waveterm-linux-* ```
3. Run the application: ```./Wave```
While we work on improving the packaging for Linux, you can optionally create a `.desktop` file, allowing you to launch Wave directly.
After doing the above steps, create a file named `Wave.desktop`, and add the following, modifying the `Exec` and `Icon` paths to point to your Wave installation:
```
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=Wave
Icon= /path/to/Wave-linux-*/resources/app/public/waveterm.icns
Exec=/path/to/Wave-linux-*/Wave
# setting this to true will launch an extra terminal to run the Wave command
Terminal=false
```
Run `desktop-file-validate Wave.desktop` to validate that the desktop entry is correct, then run `sudo cp Wave.desktop ~/.local/share/applications/Wave.desktop` to copy the entry into your application list.
After restarting your desktop environment (or your computer), Wave should be visible in application list, and should be launched by clicking the icon.
The `.desktop` file scheme is supported by most commonly used desktop environments such as GNOME, KDE, XFCE, etc. If encounter issues, please consider opening an issue on the GitHub repository.
