Zim is a desktop wiki application that allows users to create, organize, and manage notes, bookmarks, and tasks in a wiki-like format. This tutorial will guide you through the installation of Zim on Linux Mint.
Before you proceed with the installation, make sure your system is up-to-date by running the following command:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
In order to install Zim on your system, you need to add the Zim repository to your package manager’s source list. To do this, open the terminal and enter the following command:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jaap.karssenberg/zim
After adding the Zim repository, update the package list to make the package manager aware of the newly added repository. Run the following command:
sudo apt update
Now that the package list is updated, you can install Zim by running the following command:
sudo apt install zim
Once the installation is complete, you can launch Zim by either using the command line or the GUI. To launch Zim from the command line, enter the following command:
zim
Alternatively, you can launch Zim from the Applications menu. In the Search field, type “Zim” and click on the Zim icon to launch the application.
In this tutorial, you have learned how to install Zim on Linux Mint. With Zim, you can now create and manage a desktop wiki, organize notes in a wiki-like format, and keep track of tasks and bookmarks.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
