Installing on Linux

1. Download Sononym for Linux
2. Unzip it $> tar xf sononym-1.0.0.bz2
3. Run it

$> cd sononym-1.0.0
$> ./sononym

Where does Sononym save data?

Configuration Folder - Where preferences, log files etc. are kept. The folder can be revealed by choosing Show log file from the Help menu. On Linux, it would typically be a path like ~/.config/Sononym.

Documents - The default location for projects, recorded/cropped audio files, etc. The folder can be revealed by choosing Reveal in Explorer when right-clicking a Collection. On Linux, this would typically be a path like ~/Sononym.

Hardened security

Some linux distros have strict security policies, which require that the app is granted certain privileges. More specifically, the file called chrome_sandbox needs to run as root, before the application will work.

If this is not done, you might be met with an error message like this: The SUID sandbox helper binary was found, but is not configured correctly

To fix the problem, navigate into the sononym folder and issue these commands:

$ sudo chown root:root chrome-sandbox
$ sudo chmod 4755 chrome-sandbox
