Getting started on Raspberry Pi

GUI

1. Download margin-linux-arm-<version>.tar.xz from https://margin.de/download (where  will be something like 3.1.4)
2. Extract the file with “Extract here” in the file manager.
3. Optionally, move and/or rename the newly created folder to where you want margin to reside. A common choice is ~/opt/margin
4. Go into the margin folder and run the file called “margin”. Before the first run, the icon will be a default icon and not the margin logo shown in the screenshot.

5. Optionally, if you want to copy the .desktop file used to run margin to a different place, e. g. your desktop, or ~/.local/share/applications/ to be seen by your desktop environment, you’ll have to change the last line to read something like

   Exec=/home/pi/opt/margin/run-margin.sh

   Adapt for the location you actually put margin in.
