# Install EasySignage on Linux Devices

This page guides you through the process of installing and setting up the EasySignage player on Linux‑based digital signage devices. It covers downloading the package, running the installer, and configuring the system to launch EasySignage at startup.

## Supported Linux OS

-   Ubuntu
-   Fedora

## Pre Installation Steps

1.  Make sure the latest Chrome or [Chromium](https://www.chromium.org/Home/) Browser is installed.

2.  Disable the screen saver:

    -   Start the application **Settings**
    -   Choose **Privacy** under the **personal** heading
    -   Choose **Screen Lock**
    -   Toggle **Automatic Screen Lock** from the default “ON” to **“OFF”**
3.  Hide Notifications:

    -   Go to Settings
    -   Click on **Notifications** in the sidebar to open the panel.
    -   Switch **Do Not Disturb** to on.
    -   Switch **Lock Screen Notifications** to off.
4.  Prevent Screen Sleep:

    -   Go to Settings
    -   Go to Power Settings, then navigate to Power Savings Option
    -   Set **Screen Blank** to Never
5.  Clean Apps:

    -   Uninstall all unneeded programs to prevent interference with the digital signage app.
6.  Disable Auto Update of Installed Apps (printer apps, Adobe Acrobat) to prevent them from popping up on the screen while digital signage is playing.

7.  To disable the automatic update notification from appearing on your screen when the digital signage is playing:

    -   Open the **Software & Updates** from the Unity Dash or run **_Software-properties-gtk_** in a terminal.
    -   Go to the **Updates** tab.
    -   Uncheck the box for **Automatically check for updates**.
    -   Uncheck the box for **Notify me of a new Ubuntu Version** if this option is available.
    -   Close the app.

Note: This will stop the Ubuntu from automatically downloading and installing updates, whcih can make your system, less secure and stable.

## How to install EasySignage on Linux devices

-   **Step 1:** Open Terminal

-   **Step 2:** Copy paste the below script into the terminal:

    For **(64-bit):**

    ```
    /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://appds.io/linux64.sh)"
    ```

    This script will create a folder under your home directory called “digital-signage” and download the player binary, then set up a startup script to start the app on boot time.

-   **Step 3:** Restart your device by writing reboot in the terminal

    ```
    reboot
    ```
