Running Codebook for Windows on Linux

Codebook for Windows can run on Linux using Wine.

Installation

Run this command to download and run the script to install Wine, Codebook and the required prerequisites.

         curl -s https://www.zetetic.net/downloads/codebook/windows/wine/codebook-wine.bash | bash 

This command should start the process to install wine and all the necessary dependencies. It may take a really long time to run because it has to download and install software in the background. At the end of the process you should see the window for the Codebook installer, which you can run through to finish the installation.

For most distributions a Codebook program should automatically be added by Wine to the application launcher.

Known Limitations

The following features are not currently supported:

  1. Secret Agent
    The Secret Agent feature cannot directly insert text into other applications on Linux. However, when Codebook is running and in focus, you can activate the Secret Agent hotkey to search for entries and select field values. The selected data can be copied to the system clipboard in Secret Agent, enabling use in other applications via standard paste operations. Using this workflow in combination with a longer auto-lock timeout in Codebook can help improve usability.
  2. Biometric Authentication
  3. Webcam - you will need to use the Enter Word List method to add your sync key.

    You can view your Backup Word List with the Backup Sync Key option on the Sync Menu (macOS and Windows) or Sync Screen (iOS and Android).
