 If your platform / architecture is missing, let me know via the [discussions page](https://github.com/fjwillemsen/NativeOverleaf/discussions), or compile it yourself using the instructions below. 
 
+## Installation on Linux
+
+After downloading the zip-file you should extract it and move the directory to `sudo mv /path/to/Overleaf-linux-x64 /opt/`. </br>
+Then you can create a Desktop Entry in `/usr/share/applications` </br>
+```
+$ cd /usr/share/applications
+$ sudo nano overleaf.desktop
+$ sudo vim overleaf.desktop
+
+[Desktop Entry]
+Name=Overleaf
+Type=Application
+Terminal=false
+Icon=/opt/Overleaf-linux-x64/resources/app/icon.png
+Exec=/opt/Overleaf-linux-x64/Overleaf
+Categories=Science
+```
+
+After ca. 30 seconds you should see Overleaf as a Desktop entry. This is tested for **Debian 12**.

 ## How it works
 Using [nativefier](https://github.com/nativefier/nativefier), the Overleaf website is wrapped as an Electron app and injected with JavaScript. While this is not optimally efficient and we may switch to a more efficient framework in the future, it does allow combining the webapp with native features for a large number of supported platforms.
