Installing on Linux (Fedora/RHEL)
Prerequisites
Install the WebKit2GTK library, which Semantic Modeler uses for its UI:
sudo dnf install -y webkit2gtk4.1
Download
Head to the Downloads page and grab the Linux AppImage (SemanticModeler-<version>-linux.AppImage).
Install
- Make the AppImage executable:
chmod +x SemanticModeler-*-linux.AppImage
- Run it:
./SemanticModeler-*-linux.AppImage
On first launch, the AppImage registers itself in your application menu so you can find it like any other app.
Tip
You can verify your download by comparing the SHA-256 hash on the Downloads page:
sha256sum SemanticModeler-*-linux.AppImage
Wayland
If you're on a Wayland session and notice issues with window icons or rendering, try launching with X11:
GDK_BACKEND=x11 ./SemanticModeler-*-linux.AppImage
Updates
Semantic Modeler checks for updates automatically. When an update is available, you'll see a dialog asking if you'd like to restart to apply it.
