About the Linux build
The Linux packages are produced from the same source tree and the same application bundle as the Windows
release, and the .deb has been structurally verified — its archive members, control metadata,
file permissions, launcher symlink and checksums are all checked as part of the build. It has
not been launched on a Linux machine, because the build host for this release is Windows.
Treat it accordingly.
Building the AppImage
An AppImage is an ELF runtime with a squashfs filesystem appended, and creating one needs
mksquashfs plus the ability to create symbolic links — a privilege Windows withholds from an
unelevated process. Rather than ship something untested, VialTome includes a build script you can run on
any Linux machine:
sudo apt install squashfs-tools
./build_appimage.sh VialTome-1.1.0-Linux-x64.tar.gz
The script ships in the release directory and in Tools/build_appimage.sh in the source tree.
Getting it running
Windows
- Download
VialTome-Setup-1.1.0-x64.exe. - Windows SmartScreen may warn that the publisher is unrecognised. The installer is not code-signed — a signing certificate is a recurring commercial cost, and VialTome is free. Choose More info → Run anyway if you are satisfied with the checksum above.
- Choose an installation folder, or accept the default per-user location.
-
Optionally create a desktop shortcut. A Start Menu entry, an uninstall entry and file associations for
.vialtomeand.vtbackupare always registered. - Launch VialTome. The first run asks for your name, a mode, and an acknowledgement — then you are working.
Verify the download first if you wish:
certutil -hashfile VialTome-Setup-1.1.0-x64.exe SHA256
Linux Mint, Ubuntu and Debian
sudo apt install ./VialTome-1.1.0-Linux-amd64.deb
Or, if you prefer dpkg:
sudo dpkg -i VialTome-1.1.0-Linux-amd64.deb
sudo apt-get install -f # resolve any missing dependencies
VialTome installs to /opt/VialTome, adds a desktop entry, installs icons at every standard
size and creates a /usr/bin/vialtome launcher. Uninstall with
sudo apt remove vialtome — your data in ~/.config/VialTome is left untouched.
Linux portable archive
tar -xzf VialTome-1.1.0-Linux-x64.tar.gz
cd VialTome-1.1.0-Linux-x64
./vialtome
If Chromium's sandbox complains in the portable archive, either run
sudo chown root:root chrome-sandbox && sudo chmod 4755 chrome-sandbox, or start it
with ./vialtome --no-sandbox. The .deb handles this for you.

Modest, because it runs locally
Windows
Windows 10 or Windows 11, 64-bit · approximately 400 MB of disk space · 4 GB RAM is comfortable · no administrator rights needed for a per-user install · no internet connection required.
Linux
A 64-bit desktop distribution with GTK 3 — Linux Mint, Ubuntu, Debian and derivatives · approximately
400 MB of disk space · the usual Electron dependencies, which the .deb declares.
Display
1024 × 680 minimum. VialTome is built for laptops through to ultrawide and 4K displays, and honours operating-system scaling and the reduced-motion preference.
Network
None. VialTome works fully offline. The only network activity that ever occurs is a web link you click yourself.
