Installation
Desktop Scriptures is published on the Snap Store, for Linux:
sudo snap install desktop-scriptures
That's it - no separate database download or setup step. The full text of every supported volume ships inside the Snap itself, so the app works completely offline from the very first launch.
Opening the app for the first time takes you straight to the landing page - a grid of volumes (Holy Bible, The Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, Pearl of Great Price, Journal of Discourses, Lectures on Faith, Joseph Smith Translation) plus the Topical Guide. Scripture of the Day is on by default; everything else on the landing page (Church News, Come Follow Me, Inspirational Message) is opt-in and starts off, each showing a "click to enable" prompt until you turn it on. The Journal, reachable from its own menu item, is available right away - no opt-in needed, since it never talks to the network at all.
Click into a volume to browse down to a chapter, or use the search bar in the top-right corner at any time (also reachable with Ctrl+F) to search verses, notes, and tags by keyword.
