sudo sh -c "echo deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/dawn-repo.gpg] https://repo.dawn.org.in/apt stable main > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/dawn.list"
sudo apt update && sudo apt install wikilynxUse apt modernize-sources to convert the source to the new .sources format
First, download the .rpm file from here for your respective distribution.

cd wikilynx
makepkg -siAfter spending a good amount of time meddling, I have managed to deploy wikiLYNX as an AppImage. Since it's compiled in Debian 11 with Qt 5.15.2, it should be supported in most of the systems. All you have to do is download from GitHub release page the file and run it.
It's available for amd64, i386, arm64 and armhf for Debian 11 and above.
Important
AppImages for i386 and armhf may not work on amd64 and arm64 hosts respectively without some libraries. This means you're adviced to use the right AppImage for the right host architecture
You can also install the app by building from source using cmake.
Prerequisites: Check Dev | Basics section for more info
git clone https://github.com/flamboyantpenguin/wikilynx
cd wikilynx/wikiLYNX
cmake . && make
sudo make installCurrently, wikiLYNX is not available for macOS. If one's interested in seeing wikiLYNX for macOS, do let me know.
To update wikiLYNX, you can use the Maintenance Tool in Windows or update packages via your respective package managers for Linux. You can access Maintenance Tool from wikiLYNX start menu folder.
AppImage users have to manually download the latest version from GitHub release page.
