How to install trello in ubuntu

is there any command to install Trello in ubuntu? I search on their website but there is no official application for ubuntu-desktop.

Solution 1:

Yes, it can be done. As it is not available officially, you have to download it from this git repository link to repo. Use the command below to download the software :

wget https://github.com/danielchatfield/trello-desktop/releases/download/v0.1.9/Trello-linux-0.1.9.zip -O trello.zip

Use the following commands to install the downloaded file :

sudo mkdir /opt/trello

sudo unzip trello.zip -d /opt/trello/

You can now use trello, type trello in the terminal to launch it, or you can create a desktop shortcut as given below.

Create a shortcut to facilitate program execution :

sudo ln -sf /opt/trello/Trello /usr/bin/trello

Create a launcher for the program by running the command below :

echo -e '[Desktop Entry]\n Version=1.0\n Name=trello\n Exec=/opt/trello/Trello\n Icon=/opt/trello/resources/app/static/Icon.png\n Type=Application\n Categories=Application' | sudo tee /usr/share/applications/trello.desktop

Put the shortcut on your desktop using the system file manager or the command below, and use it to start the program :

sudo chmod +x /usr/share/applications/trello.desktop

After this make sure that you have libgconf2-4 installed in your system. If you don't have, then install it using this command :

sudo apt-get install libgconf2-4

Solution 2:

By adding this PPA to your system, You can update your system with unsupported packages from this untrusted PPA by adding ppa:atareao/trello-desktop to your system's Software Sources.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:atareao/trello-desktop
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt install trello-desktop

or

sudo snap install so-trello

As of today, Trello does not have a native Linux app. In my opinion, there are 2 meaningful things you can do about this:

• Use the unofficial app mentioned in the answer by matinict.
• Or use a site specific browser window with Trello app quickly callable by a keyboard shortcut. I use this as an alternative to Ubuntu Todo app which is unfortunately not syncing with the cloud.

Here is how to do it with Firefox v73+:

1. go to about:config, Accept the Risk and Continue
2. search for ssb and using double-click flip it to true
3. restart Firefox (I know about ssb thanks to this post of Andrew Braun)
4. now the command firefox --ssb https://trello.com/yourboard should work
5. now go to Ubuntu Settings > Keyboard Shortcuts > Custom Shortcuts > Add
6. fill in the command, specify a shortcut (I use Super + F1) and there you go, you have a Trello window quickly callable by a keyboard shortcut.

Here is how to do it with Chromium (I guess the same-ish applies for Chrome):

1. sudo apt install chromium-browser
2. open your Trello board in the Chromium browser
3. click the 3 dots icon in the top right corner and choose More tools > Create Shortcut
4. give the shortcut a name and check Open as window
5. go to your Desktop where you will find a file named chrome-somethingsomething.Desktop
6. open it with a text editor and copy the app-id
7. this command opens the shortcut: /snap/bin/chromium --app-id=<the app id you have copied>
8. do the steps 5. and 6. from the Firefox list.

Desktop shortcut instead of keyboard shortcut:

If you are more interested in "clicking an icon", this answer might be useful to you but I do not use it.

Other remarks:

• chromium will remember the window position, which is cool
• you can obviously close the window quickly with Alt+F4
• of course, you can delete the .Desktop file from the Desktop
• you can use Trello smartphone app so you have your todos always at hand

Solution 4:

Simply install Whale : https://www.electronjs.org/apps/whale

It's an unofficial Trello app that works flawlessly (I'm using Ubuntu Studio 20.04).
