This GitHub repository provides an unofficial Linux build of the Grok Bot desktop app, originally available only for macOS and Windows. It adapts the official Electron app to run on Linux by replacing Windows-only native addons with Linux equivalents, similar to a previous port for Codex. Users can install it via a .deb package or run it directly from a tarball, with instructions for both Ubuntu/Debian and Fedora/Arch systems.

The build process uses a script that downloads the official Windows installer, extracts it, and patches it for Linux compatibility. The app itself remains unchanged, offering the same UI and cloud-based bot functionality, but the in-app updater is disabled since it only supports macOS and Windows. Users must manually rebuild when new versions are released.

The repository includes scripts and documentation, with all code licensed under MIT, while the original app belongs to x AI / Cursor.
