# Install, data directory and logs
Source: https://nordvec.com/cs/docs/guides/desktop/install-and-data#linux

## Linux [#linux]

* **Download:** an AppImage for x64. It runs as your user, with no system-wide install.
* **Removing the app** leaves the data directory below in place; delete it to remove the local sync data.
* **Keyring:** the app needs a running gnome-keyring or KWallet to encrypt its local sync data, and does not sync without one.
* **Data directory:** `~/.config/Nordvec Desktop`
* **Log file:** `~/.config/Nordvec Desktop/logs/nordvec-<date>.log`
* When `XDG_CONFIG_HOME` is set, the data directory is `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/Nordvec Desktop` instead.
