|

|
||
## ❓Why TriliumNext?
|
||
|
||
The original Trilium developer ([Zadam](https://github.com/zadam)) has
|
||
graciously given the Trilium repository to the community project which resides
|
||
at https://github.com/TriliumNext
|
||
|
||
### ⬆️Migrating from Zadam/Trilium?
|
||
|
||
There are no special migration steps to migrate from a zadam/Trilium instance to
|
||
a TriliumNext/Trilium instance. Simply [install
|
||
TriliumNext/Trilium](#-installation) as usual and it will use your existing
|
||
database.
|
||
|
||
Versions up to and including
|
||
[v0.90.4](https://github.com/TriliumNext/Trilium/releases/tag/v0.90.4) are
|
||
compatible with the latest zadam/trilium version of
|
||
[v0.63.7](https://github.com/zadam/trilium/releases/tag/v0.63.7). Any later
|
||
versions of TriliumNext/Trilium have their sync versions incremented which
|
||
prevents direct migration.

|
||
## 🏗 Installation
|
||
|
||
### Windows / MacOS
|
||
|
||
Download the binary release for your platform from the [latest release
|
||
page](https://github.com/TriliumNext/Trilium/releases/latest), unzip the package
|
||
and run the `trilium` executable.
|
||
|
||
### Linux
|
||
|
||
If your distribution is listed in the table below, use your distribution's
|
||
package.
|
||
|
||
[](https://repology.org/project/triliumnext/versions)
|
||
|
||
You may also download the binary release for your platform from the [latest
|
||
release page](https://github.com/TriliumNext/Trilium/releases/latest), unzip the
|
||
package and run the `trilium` executable.
|
||
|
||
TriliumNext is also provided as a Flatpak, but not yet published on FlatHub.
|
||
|
||
### Browser (any OS)
|
||
|
||
If you use a server installation (see below), you can directly access the web
|
||
interface (which is almost identical to the desktop app).
|
||
|
||
Currently only the latest versions of Chrome & Firefox are supported (and
|
||
tested).
|
||
|
||
### Mobile
|
||
|
||
To use TriliumNext on a mobile device, you can use a mobile web browser to
|
||
access the mobile interface of a server installation (see below).
|
||
|
||
See issue https://github.com/TriliumNext/Trilium/issues/4962 for more
|
||
information on mobile app support.
|
||
|
||
If you prefer a native Android app, you can use
|
||
[TriliumDroid](https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/apk/eu.fliegendewurst.triliumdroid).
|
||
Report bugs and missing features at [their
|
||
repository](https://github.com/FliegendeWurst/TriliumDroid). Note: It is best to
|
||
disable automatic updates on your server installation (see below) when using
|
||
TriliumDroid since the sync version must match between Trilium and TriliumDroid.
|
||
|
||
### Server
|
||
|
||
To install TriliumNext on your own server (including via Docker from
|
||
[Dockerhub](https://hub.docker.com/r/triliumnext/trilium)) follow [the server
|
||
installation docs](https://triliumnext.github.io/Docs/Wiki/server-installation).
