Installation 💿

🐧 Linux and 🪟 Windows supported

Windows 🪟

Important

Yes, your antivirus/Widnows itself would say that it is a virus.
The code is open source, you are more that welcome to read the source line by line.
The antivirus detection happens because the .exe is not authored by a trusted company.

📥 Download the XediX4.1Windows.zip file, extract it and finally run the file main.exe.

Linux 🐧

Tip

To avoid the warning below, move all files from the linux folder to the main directory before running the installer.

📥 Download the XediX4.1Linux.tar.xz file, unzip it and open the terminal in the unzipped folder.
Run these commands:

# change the directory to linux installation folder
cd linux
# allow linuxinst.sh to execute
chmod +x linuxinst.sh
# run linuxinst.sh
linuxinst.sh

Warning

If you encounter a FileNotFoundError, move linuxrun.sh to the main directory and run: python3 main.py

Before you leave... 👋 - Developer's note

xedix 4.1 on windows

It's the start of 2025 🎉, and we did recode XediX from the scratch 🔄, added Linux support for the first time 🐧 and published two very large releases 🚀. 7 new stars ⭐. Sounds crazy to me 🤯.

I also made a 2024 Recap, will be updated because I was working on it even after making the recap. Anyways, check it out here.

first run of xedix on linux

second run of xedix on linux

To celebrate this milestone 🏆, I'm releasing the oldest version of XediX I found on my PC 💾.
It's ugly 😅, barely works 🫠, but hey – XediX2 is now downloadable below. Have fun installing dependencies 🤣.

I also wanted to share the first attempt to make it, but i only found a screenshot. It worked like a notes app, and i transformed into XediX later.

It's interesting how that screenshot is almost 3 years old!
