Install Joplin Notes Directly From GitHub w/Auto Updates

There aren't any non-snap repositories for installing Joplin Notes on Linux, so one thing you can do is install and update it directly from GitHub using their wget command. However, you may want to use the Zap Appimage Manager Tool to install the Joplin Appimage from Joplin's GitHib.

1. First update your system

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

2. Wget and run the install upgrade script:

sudo wget -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/laurent22/joplin/dev/Joplin_install_and_update.sh | bash

3. For auto updates, set up a Cronjob, so first open crontab for editing:

sudo crontab -e

4. Add this line to the end of the crontab file which will check for Joplin updates when your system boots, as explained here 👈.

@reboot wget -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/laurent22/joplin/dev/Joplin_install_and_update.sh >/dev/null 2>&1 | bash >/dev/null 2>&1

Or you can run the command in Step 2 anytime you want to manually update.
