Installing Trezor Suite on Linux

This guide shows you how to install the Trezor Suite desktop application on devices with Linux operating systems.
 

To ensure a smooth installation, it is important to identify the Linux distribution in use, as each may exhibit different behaviors. These instructions are designed to guide users through the unique requirements of each major distribution, ensuring a smooth installation experience.


You can install Trezor Suite on Linux using the command line or the graphical user interface.
 

UDEV rules

UDEV rules are essential for the device to be detected by any software. There are two possibilities: either the UDEV rules are pre-installed on the system or they need to be manually added.

To check if the UDEV rules are present, use the command systemctl --version. If the version is higher than 256.4, the UDEV rules are already in place.

If not, they must be manually installed. See the instructions below for guidance.

Other Distributions (manual installation)

Check if you are running systemd version 256.4 or newer. If so, UDEV rules are already in place.

If not, they will need to be installed manually. Please refer to https://trezor.io/learn/a/udev-rules for guidance.

All commands should be run in the same folder where the AppImage is downloaded, usually in the Downloads folder.

Mark the binary as executable:

chmod u+x ./Trezor-Suite*.AppImage

Run the binary

./Trezor-Suite*.AppImage

Note: on some distributions, you may need a --no-sandbox flag. Resulting in this command: ./Trezor-Suite*.AppImage --no-sandbox
