How to install Ui.Vision Desktop Automation for :penguin: Linux

Requirements

  • Ubuntu 22.04+, Debian 12+, Fedora 36+. All those systems have glibc 2.35 or newer. Check with: ldd --version
  • Wayland or X11 both work! On Wayland the system shows a one-time
    “Share your screen” prompt the first time a macro captures the screen or
    moves the mouse (see “First run” below) — this is the OS asking your
    permission, and it is remembered afterwards.

Install

  1. Extract this tarball anywhere:

    tar -xzf uivision-desktop-automation-linux-x64.tar.gz
cd uivision-desktop-automation

  2. Run the installer (NO root / sudo needed - it installs into your home
    folder only):

    ./install.sh

    It copies the helper to ~/.local/share/uivision/ and registers it with
    Chrome, Edge, Chromium and Firefox.

  3. Fully quit and reopen your browser, so it picks up the new helper.

First run - grant permission (Wayland only)

The first time a macro does anything on the desktop (a screenshot, a click, a
keypress), your desktop shows a “Share your screen” / “Remote desktop” dialog. Choose your monitor and click Share/Allow ONCE. The permission is remembered, so later runs do not ask again. On X11 there is no such prompt.
