Linux and EDD
EDD will run in Linux, with reservations.
- Sorting always sorts alphabetically - this is a MONO issue as the sort comparitor is not being called.
- Moving the tabs around makes them disappear - obv a difference between windows and MONO adding/removing controls
- No speech is available.
- No web browers are available (SPANSH EDSM etc)
- Some UI elements may be a little different in visual appearance.
- Reordering tabs in main window is disabled as it does not work reliably.
You need Mono, which is a c# solution for Linux.
From https://www.mono-project.com/download/stable/#download-lin-debian is instructions on how to do this for lots of different distributions. Instructions for other Linuxes are present on this page.

Check that msbuild is available. Some distributions leave it out. If not, try using apt install mono-complete msbuild.
Check out the source code using GIT. Try and use a commit associated with a release, as the master may be in development so may not work.
In general the commands are:
git clone https://github.com/EDDiscovery/EDDiscovery.git
cd EDDiscovery
git checkout <master or commit>
git submodule init
git submodule update
nuget restore
chmod +x monobuild
./monobuild
cd EDDiscovery/bin/Debug
mono --debug EDDiscovery.exe
As an example if you want to built version 16.2 the commands would be:
git clone https://github.com/EDDiscovery/EDDiscovery.git
cd EDDiscovery
git fetch origin Release_16.2
git checkout Release_16.2
git submodule init
git submodule update
nuget restore
chmod +x monobuild
./monobuild
cd EDDiscovery/bin/Debug
mono --debug EDDiscovery.exe
The release names can be seen on the left side of the releases page.
The appfolder is present under ~/.local/share/EDDiscovery
cd EDDiscovery
git fetch
git checkout master
git pull
git submodule update
