Hello, is anyone running a Daedalus Shelly Wallet on Linux? I followed the instructions found in the following link: [[https://iohk.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/900000776446-Installing-Daedalus-1-1-0-Mainnet-on-Linux-](https://iohk.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/900000776446-Installing-Daedalus-1-1-0-Mainnet-on-Linux-)] (Installing Daedalus Mainnet on Linux) Everything seems to install ok, but I can’t find the “daedalus-mainnet” anywhere in any directory. I do have a /.local/bin folder but it is not there. The directions mention to click on the icon but nothing shows up anywhere that I can see. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. ---

I have installed and I run Daedalus 2.1.0 on Linux and the `.local/bin/daedalus-mainnet` shell script exists and works as expected. Are you sure there was not error when you installed it? ---

The only error I saw was about a nix group that did not exist. Should I post the output of the install? ---

Stick it in a pastebin or something rather than posting here in the forum. ---

Are you sure you dont run setup as root/sudo? Regardless based on the hint of description, you’d prolly need to create /etc/nix folder and follow instructions [here](https://forum.cardano.org/t/daedalus-1-0-0-not-installing-on-ubuntu-16-04/32364/2) This wouldnt be needed normally, but often most that use root to install (maybe once before) fall into this issue ---

Whenever I open a terminal window I always type **sudo su -** so I don’t have to keep typing **sudo** on every command. Should I try installing without typing that command? ---

Thanks rdirt! That seemed to work better. I didn’t see the nix error in the install output and now I have an icon to click on. NEW PROBLEM: Nothing happens : Now when I click on the icon nothing happens except the usual zoom animation that signifies a program is opening. If I go to the /home/.local/bin folder in terminal and try to run it from there it says **’/bin’ -\> '/nix/var/nix/profiles/profile-mainnet/bin/'** **’/etc/protocols’ -\> '/nix/store/cdyc50j2xcb6bfnkkvjb2g93f12jx6i8-iana-etc-20190731/etc/protocols’** **’/etc/services’ -\> '/nix/store/cdyc50j2xcb6bfnkkvjb2g93f12jx6i8-iana-etc-20190731/etc/services’** **’/etc/fonts/fonts.conf’ -\> '/nix/store/a3bpnfn4fq5l183rdl9zk5qi86bq7v5q-fonts.conf’** **’/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt’ -\> '/nix/store/8933sc4v51lhmchf0dcb1yiqy9dy7s8d-nss-cacert-3.49.2/etc/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt’** **’/etc/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt’ -\> '/nix/store/8933sc4v51lhmchf0dcb1yiqy9dy7s8d-nss-cacert-3.49.2/etc/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt’** **+ test -z ''** **+ XDG\_DATA\_HOME=/home/am4/.local/share** **+ export CLUSTER=mainnet** **+ CLUSTER=mainnet** **+ export DAEDALUS\_DIR=/home/am4/.local/share/Daedalus** **+ DAEDALUS\_DIR=/home/am4/.local/share/Daedalus** **+ export DAEDALUS\_CONFIG=/nix/var/nix/profiles/profile-mainnet/etc** **+ DAEDALUS\_CONFIG=/nix/var/nix/profiles/profile-mainnet/etc** **+ mkdir -p /home/am4/.local/share/Daedalus/mainnet/Logs/pub /home/am4/.local/share/Daedalus/mainnet/Secrets** **+ cd /home/am4/.local/share/Daedalus/mainnet/** **+ exec /nix/store/19zfmib41d91xqzs4z50s9zj3g7p6z29-daedalus-cardano-bridge/bin/cardano-launcher --config /nix/var/nix/profiles/profile-mainnet/etc/launcher-config.yaml** **LauncherCLI {launcherConfigPath = LauncherOptionPath {getLauncherOptionPath = “/nix/var/nix/profiles/profile-mainnet/etc/launcher-config.yaml”}, walletExitCodes = Nothing, updaterExitCodes = Nothing}** **[launcher:Notice:27] [2020-08-15 16:03:08.82 UTC] Starting cardano-launcher** **[launcher:Notice:27] [2020-08-15 16:03:08.82 UTC] Launcher substituted ENV variables: Object (fromList [(“walletLogging”,Bool False),(“legacySecretKey”,String “Secrets/secret.key”),(“cluster”,String “mainnet”),(“nodeConfig”,Object (fromList [(“kind”,String “shelley”),(“socketFile”,String “/home/am4/.local/share/Daedalus/mainnet/cardano-node.socket”),(“network”,Object (fromList [(“configFile”,String “/nix/store/64scl1b665k3wpf776ly4bpmqmkg8qly-node-cfg-files/config.yaml”),(“topologyFile”,String “/nix/store/64scl1b665k3wpf776ly4bpmqmkg8qly-node-cfg-files/topology.yaml”),(“genesisFile”,String “/nix/store/64scl1b665k3wpf776ly4bpmqmkg8qly-node-cfg-files/genesis.json”)])),(“configurationDir”,String “”)])),(“legacyStateDir”,String “/home/am4/.local/share/Daedalus/mainnet”),(“launcherLogsPrefix”,String “/home/am4/.local/share/Daedalus/mainnet/Logs/pub”),(“nodeBin”,String “cardano-node”),(“isStaging”,Bool True),(“cliBin”,String “cardano-cli”),(“updaterPath”,String “”),(“syncTolerance”,String “300s”),(“workingDir”,String “/home/am4/.local/share/Daedalus/mainnet”),(“tlsConfig”,Object (fromList [(“ca”,Object (fromList [(“commonName”,String “Daedalus Self-Signed Root CA”),(“expiryDays”,Number 3650.0),(“organization”,String “Daedalus”)])),(“clients”,Array [Object (fromList [(“commonName”,String “Daedalus Frontend”),(“expiryDays”,Number 365.0),(“organization”,String “Daedalus”)])]),(“server”,Object (fromList [(“commonName”,String “Daedalus Wallet Backend”),(“expiryDays”,Number 365.0),(“altDNS”,Array [String “localhost”,String “localhost.localdomain”,String “127.0.0.1”,String “::1”]),(“organization”,String “Daedalus”)]))])),(“networkName”,String “mainnet”),(“legacyWalletDB”,String “Wallet”),(“updaterArgs”,Array []),(“cardanoAddressBin”,String “cardano-address”),(“logsPrefix”,String “/home/am4/.local/share/Daedalus/mainnet/Logs”),(“isFlight”,Bool False),(“daedalusBin”,String “daedalus-frontend”),(“nodeImplementation”,String “cardano”),(“walletBin”,String “cardano-wallet-shelley”),(“stateDir”,String “/home/am4/.local/share/Daedalus/mainnet”),(“updateArchive”,String “”),(“updateWindowsRunner”,String “”),(“tlsPath”,String “/home/am4/.local/share/Daedalus/mainnet/tls”)])** **[launcher:Notice:27] [2020-08-15 16:03:08.82 UTC] Locking file so that multiple applications won’t run at same time** **cardano-launcher: Daedalus application is already running.

I am running Daedalus wallet on Ubuntu 20.04…works just fine. No, you should not type sudo before or during the installation. Just download the latest version from here [Daedalus - Downloads](https://daedaluswallet.io/en/download/) Then change the file permission to make it executable. You can do it from GUI or from the terminal: > chmod +x \ After that just execute the file ./\ Let us know if you are still facing issues. ---

Thank you for the reply SaadZoul. I did as you instructed. It dumps out to an error that I posted above. The current status of my problem is that it says more than one instance of the Daedalus wallet is running even after rebooting and running the **daedalus-mainnet** is the only thing I do. ---

Try to install nix first. I have same problem at first time. But, after install nix. It’s work like a charm ---

The wallet installer already installs Nix, so installing Nix separately is unlikely to help. “Just install NIx” is also not a good response until we know **exactly** what is causing the problem. ---

Hi, sorry my bad, because when I install Daedalus in Centos, I got some error too, then I install nix, after that it works. ---

That suggests its not already running on your machine.
