There are mainly two ways to install Elasticvue Desktop on Ubuntu based systems. We will look into both the ways one by one.
a) Using AppImage
The first method to install Elasticvue Desktop is through AppImage. In this method, basically you don’t have to install anything, just download the AppImage file and run it. Here we are downloading the latest Elasticvue AppImage from official website using wget utility as shown below.
Ubuntu-Server@ubuntu:~$ wget https://github.com/cars10/elasticvue/releases/download/v1.0.10/elasticvue_1.0.10_amd64.AppImage

Ubuntu-Server@ubuntu:~$ chmod +x elasticvue_1.0.10_amd64.AppImage Once the AppImage file is executable, we can run using ./elasticvue_1.0.10_amd64.AppImage. This will launch the GUI application as you can see below. Now you can start adding your elasticsearch cluster.
b) Using Debian
The second method is to install through the debian package. You can visit GitHub website and download latest debian package using same wget utility as shown below. This will download the debian package in current working directory.
Ubuntu-Server@ubuntu:~$ wget https://github.com/cars10/elasticvue/releases/download/v1.0.10/elasticvue_1.0.10_amd64.deb
