Built for Linux
Bible Study Software for Linux
Vellum is a native Linux desktop application, built with the same Electron framework as the Windows build, not a compatibility layer or a browser tab. Install the .deb with your package manager, or grab the AppImage if you'd rather not install anything at all.
Version 1.14.0 · Portable or installer · ~275 MB · Free forever
Two ways to run it on Linux
.deb package Debian & Ubuntu
A standard .deb you install with your package manager. Adds a normal application menu entry and uninstalls the usual way, through apt or your software center.
Get the .deb packageAppImage
No installation and no package manager. Make it executable and run it, and it works across most distributions, Fedora and Arch included.
Get the AppImageWhat you get on the Linux build
The same study tools as Windows
Concordance, Search Everything, the Atlas, Lesson Builder, and everything else in Vellum, native on Linux with nothing missing.
Runs fully offline
Once installed, no internet connection is needed. Everything ships inside the app.
Print-friendly panes
Every pane has its own print button that sends just that pane, not the whole window, to your printer or a PDF.
About the AppImage permission
About the AppImage: most file managers don't mark downloaded files executable by default, so if double-clicking does nothing, right-click the file, open Properties, and check "Allow executing file as program," or run
chmod +x Vellum.AppImage from a terminal first. The .deb package doesn't need this step.On Windows instead? Vellum also ships as an installer or a portable .exe.
