Compile Aseprite on Linux

This is a script to automate compiling Aseprite on Ubuntu, Fedora, and more! If you want to support the developers, buy it from Aseprite.org!

To run the script, simply open a terminal window and paste this command:

bash -c "$(curl -sSf 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mak448a/compile-aseprite-linux/refs/heads/main/compile.sh')"

Please consider giving this repo a star if you found it helpful. If you encounter any errors, please report them in the issues tab.

Where is the executable?

The executable is stored in ~/.local/share/aseprite. Have fun!

How do I run Aseprite?

This script automatically adds Aseprite to your desktop environment's application launcher and to $PATH. You can launch it from your desktop environment's application launcher or by entering aseprite in the terminal.

Uninstall

To remove all files created by the compile.sh script, paste this command. Your configuration, themes, or installed templates in ~/.config/aseprite will not be deleted.

bash -c "$(curl -sSf 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mak448a/compile-aseprite-linux/refs/heads/main/uninstall.sh')"

Credits

I used Aseprite's official compilation guide to make this script.
