📥 Step 1: Download & Extract

First, download the official package from the site below:

👉 Download Antigravity Official

Once downloaded, extract the archive using the following command:

tar -xzf Antigravity.tar.gz

---

📂 Step 2: Move to Optimal Location

It is standard practice to store manually installed programs in /opt or /usr/local. This command moves the extracted folder to /opt:

sudo mv Antigravity /opt/antigravity

---

🔗 Step 3: Create a Global Command (Symlink)

To launch the app by simply typing antigravity in any terminal window, create a symbolic link to the binary:

sudo ln -sf /opt/antigravity/bin/antigravity /usr/local/bin/antigravity

---

🖥️ Step 4: Create a Desktop Entry (App Icon)

To add Antigravity to your application menu with an icon, create a desktop entry:

1. Open the editor:

   sudo nano /usr/share/applications/antigravity.desktop

2. Paste the following content:

    [Desktop Entry]
    Name=Antigravity
    Comment=AI-powered IDE
    Exec=/opt/antigravity/antigravity --no-sandbox %F
    Icon=/opt/antigravity/resources/app/out/vs/workbench/contrib/antigravityCustomAppIcon/browser/media/antigravity/antigravity.png
    Terminal=false
    Type=Application
    Categories=Development;IDE;
    StartupWMClass=antigravity

3. Save and Update:

   • In nano: Press Ctrl+O, then Enter, then Ctrl+X to exit.
   • Run the following command to update the application database:

   sudo update-desktop-database

🔄 How to Update

If you want to update Antigravity to a newer version, follow these steps to ensure a clean install:

1. Remove Old Files: Delete the existing installation folder:

   sudo rm -rf /opt/antigravity

2. Redo Installation: Follow Step 2 and Step 3 again with your new downloaded files. Since your .desktop file and symlinks are already set up, the app will start working immediately with the new version.

✨ Done!

You can now launch Antigravity from your application launcher or by typing antigravity in the terminal.
