Click here to watch a short install video that walks through all the steps to install Cromite on a fresh install of Ubuntu Desktop 24.04.
1. Download the latest zip package from [here](https://github.com/cloudcoroner/cromite_ubuntu/releases)
2. Go to your Downloads folder.
3. Double-click on the zip file to unpack it. It will extract the files in a new folder.
4. Double-click on the newly created folder.
5. Right-click on the setup_cromite.sh file, click Properties (at the bottom of the list).
6. In the properties window, turn on the toggle at the bottom named "Executable as a program" and then close the window by clicking the X in the top right corner.
7. Right click on the file setup_cromite.sh again and click "Run as a Program" to begin setup
8. On the first screen, “Install” should already be chosen in the the drop-down for Setup Choice. If not, choose “Install” and Click OK.
9. You will be asked to confirm you want to Install Cromite and set it as the default browser (you can change it back to Firefox later).
10. Next you will be asked for a root password (the same as a Windows admin password). This is used to put Cromite in the /usr/bin path, make desktop application changes as well as update Apparmor definitions in Ubuntu.

1. If you have pinned Cromite to the dash or added it to your favorites (in older versions of Ubuntu), you should first undo that by right clicking on the Cromite icon and clicking un-pin or remove from favorites.
2. If you still have the zip package and extracted folder from installation, skip to Step 11.
3. Download the latest zip package from [here](https://github.com/cloudcoroner/cromite_ubuntu/releases)

12. On the first screen, click the drop-down for Setup Choice, choose “Uninstall” and Click OK.
13. You will be asked to confirm you want to Uninstall Cromite and set Firefox back to the default browser.
14. Next you will be asked for a root password. This is used to undo all the changes made during the installation.
15. Finally, you will be asked if you want to remove your Cromite user profile. If you only have Firefox and Cromite installed on your system – choose “Yes”. If you have another Chrome or Chromium Browser installed, this could mess up your settings in those browsers, so chose “No”.
