## Ubuntu Linux

Auterion Mission Control is available on Ubuntu Linux as a self-contained AppImage. This section will walk you through the installation process and help you get started with AMC.

### What is an AppImage?

AppImages are standalone application bundles that allow you to run software on multiple Linux distributions without installation. They eliminate the need for package managers, scripts, or unpacking. This format simplifies application distribution and portability.

### Installation instructions

The following steps are **one-time** system configurations that only need to be performed during initial setup. These changes persist across system reboots and won't need to be repeated, for example when relaunching AMC or updating version.

To successfully run the AMC AppImage:

1. **Add User to Dialout Group**\
   Run the command to add your user to the `dialout` group:

   ```bash
   sudo usermod -aG dialout $USER
   ```
2. **Remove ModemManager**\
   Uninstall the ModemManager package by executing:

   ```bash
   sudo apt -y remove modemmanager
   ```

### Launch

#### Method 1: Graphical Interface

1. Navigate to the AppImage location using your file manager
2. Double-click the AppImage file and wait a few seconds

#### Method 2: Command Line

1. Open a terminal in the AppImage directory
2. Launch the application using:

   ```
   ./[filename.AppImage]
   ```

   *Note:* Replace `[filename.AppImage]` with your actual downloaded filename (e.g. `AuterionMissionControl-amc-v1.38.16-ubuntu.AppImage`)
