Install Klixvr on Linux

Pick the pack that matches your system. .deb and .rpm put klixvr on /usr/local/bin. AppImage runs in place. Confirm you see klixvr 1.0.5.

Klixvr needs Linux with glibc 2.38 or newer, such as Ubuntu 24.04 or later, or Debian 13.

v1.0.5

Linux deb Linux rpm Linux AppImage Linux zip

Debian / Ubuntu (.deb)

sudo dpkg -i klixvr_linux_v1.0.5.deb
klixvr --version

The command is installed at /usr/local/bin/klixvr. Uninstall later with sudo dpkg -r klixvr.

Fedora / RHEL / openSUSE (.rpm)

sudo rpm -i klixvr_linux_v1.0.5.rpm
klixvr --version

On Fedora you can also use sudo dnf install ./klixvr_linux_v1.0.5.rpm. Uninstall later with sudo rpm -e klixvr.

AppImage (portable)

chmod +x klixvr_linux_v1.0.5.AppImage
./klixvr_linux_v1.0.5.AppImage --version

Keep the file wherever you like. To put klixvr on your PATH:

mkdir -p ~/bin
mv klixvr_linux_v1.0.5.AppImage ~/bin/klixvr
chmod +x ~/bin/klixvr

If ~/bin is not on your PATH, add export PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH" to ~/.bashrc or ~/.profile. Open a new terminal and run klixvr --version.

Zip fallback

unzip klixvr_linux_v1.0.5.zip
chmod +x klixvr
mkdir -p ~/bin
mv klixvr ~/bin/klixvr

Same PATH note as AppImage. Open a new terminal and run klixvr --version.

This build is a single-file binary. It does not need Python. If it says GLIBC_2.38 not found, your Linux is older than Klixvr supports.

First scan

klixvr

Paste a path and press Enter. Or pass the folder:

klixvr ~/Pictures

klixvr ~/Pictures --no-phash          # skip visual image matching (faster)
klixvr ~/Documents --min-size 1048576 # skip files smaller than 1 MB
klixvr ~/Pictures --rescan            # ignore the hash cache and start fresh

When it finds duplicates

Key	What it does
1, 2, …	Keep that file; move the others to staging
N	Not a duplicate — skip this group next time
L	Ask again later
Q	Quit (progress is saved)

Moved files go to a hidden folder named .klarvr_dups_tbd inside the folder you scanned. Review it yourself. Klixvr will not scan that folder again. It will not delete anything for you.

Uninstall

.deb: sudo dpkg -r klixvr

.rpm: sudo rpm -e klixvr

AppImage or zip: rm ~/bin/klixvr (or delete the AppImage you kept).

Optional: delete ~/.dedup_ignore if you do not want the ignore list.

Klixvr is provided as-is. Duplicate detection can be wrong. Review the staging folder before you delete anything.
