Hi. I’m trying to run this on Ubuntu Linux.

If I place your folders in .config/espanso/config it doesn’t work. If I move them all to .config/espanso/match I can get :dd and :arr to work and nothing else.

It appears that you just need to advise me on the correct placement of the folders. Thanks!

Also anyone trying to run espanso on Ubuntu 22.04 will fail unless you run xorg instead of wayland(default) at the login screen (cog - bottom right of screen). This drove me nuts until I figured it out!

Hi crinklechips - thanks for trying this out.

Are you trying the "purchased" zip version or installing by yourself from GitHub? If from GitHub, please follow up on the repository. My quick guess is that you are trying to copy folders without compiling it first.

Best regards

Hi Jeansen,

I bought it. I’m only an amateur Linux user. I don’t know how to compile programs. Also, you deserve the money ;-) I really hope you can help but at the end of the day it was only $3.

Thank you, no worries, didn't mean to check. It was just a typical issue on the users who try to install it from GitHub. Installing in Linux the zipfile should be quite straightforward.

1. Make sure you are running the last version of espanso espanso --version should say 2.1.8.

2. Then just run

unzip ~/Downloads/PlayBTW_v1_35_base_with_ai_Linux.zip -d ~/.config/espanso/

This will unzip the package into the espanso folder. That's it, then typing :qq should trigger the oracle yes/no prompt :) If you have issues on Wayland/X11, double check the installation instructions on https://espanso.org/docs/install/linux/#choosing-the-right-install-method. I personally use the AppImage install method in X11 (OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, KDE) and it works just fine.

Good luck and let me know if it works out! JV

Forgot to reply. Couldn't get it to work. Never mind. I don't have the tech skills to fix whatever needs fixing.
