Step 1: Download Titra

Visit the official Titra website at https://titra.io/ and click on the "Download" button. Choose the appropriate package for your system in the "Linux" section. In this case, we will download the AppImage package.

Step 2: Make Titra executable

After downloading the package, open the terminal and navigate to the directory where you saved the package using the cd command. In our case, it would be

Next, we need to make the Titra package executable using the following command:

chmod +x Titra-VERSION.AppImage

Make sure to replace VERSION with the version number of the package you downloaded.

Step 3: Move Titra to the applications folder

Now that the Titra package is executable, it's time to move it to the applications folder. We will use the following command to create a new directory for Titra in the applications folder:

sudo mkdir /opt/titra

Next, we will move the Titra package to the newly created folder using the following command:

sudo mv Titra-VERSION.AppImage /opt/titra/Titra.AppImage

Again, make sure to replace VERSION with the version number of the Titra package you downloaded.

Step 4: Create a desktop shortcut for Titra

We will now create a desktop shortcut for Titra. In the terminal, type the following command:

sudo nano /usr/share/applications/titra.desktop

This will open an empty file in the nano text editor. Copy and paste the following content into the file:

[Desktop Entry]
