[The original Trilium project is in maintenance mode](https://github.com/zadam/trilium/issues/4620). ### Migrating from Trilium? There are no special migration steps to migrate from a zadam/Trilium instance to a TriliumNext/Notes instance. Simply [install TriliumNext/Notes](#-installation) as usual and it will use your existing database. Versions up to and including [v0.90.4](https://github.com/TriliumNext/Notes/releases/tag/v0.90.4) are compatible with the latest zadam/trilium version of [v0.63.7](https://github.com/zadam/trilium/releases/tag/v0.63.7). Any later versions of TriliumNext have their sync versions incremented. ## 📖 Documentation We're currently in the progress of moving the documentation to in-app (hit the `F1` key within Trilium). As a result, there may be some missing parts until we've completed the migration. If you'd prefer to navigate through the documentation within GitHub, you can navigate the [User Guide](./docs/User%20Guide/User%20Guide/) documentation. Below are some quick links for your convenience to navigate the documentation: - [Server installation](./docs/User%20Guide/User%20Guide/Installation%20&%20Setup/Server%20Installation.md) - [Docker installation](./docs/User%20Guide/User%20Guide/Installation%20&%20Setup/Server%20Installation/1.%20Installing%20the%20server/Using%20Docker.md) - [Upgrading TriliumNext](./docs/User%20Guide/User%20Guide/Installation%20%26%20Setup/Upgrading%20TriliumNext.md) - [Concepts and Features - Note](./docs/User%20Guide/User%20Guide/Basic%20Concepts%20and%20Features/Notes.md) - [Patterns of personal knowledge base](https://triliumnext.github.io/Docs/Wiki/patterns-of-personal-knowledge) Until we finish reorganizing the documentation, you may also want to [browse the old documentation](https://triliumnext.github.io/Docs). ## 💬 Discuss with us Feel free to join our official conversations. We would love to hear what features, suggestions, or issues you may have! - [Matrix](https://matrix.to/#/#triliumnext:matrix.org) (For synchronous discussions.) - The `General` Matrix room is also bridged to [XMPP](xmpp:discuss@trilium.thisgreat.party?join) - [Github Discussions](https://github.com/TriliumNext/Notes/discussions) (For asynchronous discussions.) - [Github Issues](https://github.com/TriliumNext/Notes/issues) (For bug reports and feature requests.) ## 🏗 Installation ### Windows / MacOS Download the binary release for your platform from the [latest release page](https://github.com/TriliumNext/Notes/releases/latest), unzip the package and run the `trilium` executable. ### Linux If your distribution is listed in the table below, use your distribution's package. [![Packaging status](https://repology.org/badge/vertical-allrepos/triliumnext.svg)](https://repology.org/project/triliumnext/versions) You may also download the binary release for your platform from the [latest release page](https://github.com/TriliumNext/Notes/releases/latest), unzip the package and run the `trilium` executable. TriliumNext is also provided as a Flatpak, but not yet published on FlatHub. ### Browser (any OS) If you use a server installation (see below), you can directly access the web interface (which is almost identical to the desktop app). Currently only the latest versions of Chrome & Firefox are supported (and tested). ### Mobile To use TriliumNext on a mobile device, you can use a mobile web browser to access the mobile interface of a server installation (see below). If you prefer a native Android app, you can use [TriliumDroid](https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/apk/eu.fliegendewurst.triliumdroid). Report bugs and missing features at [their repository](https://github.com/FliegendeWurst/TriliumDroid). See issue https://github.com/TriliumNext/Notes/issues/72 for more information on mobile app support. ### Server To install TriliumNext on your own server (including via Docker from [Dockerhub](https://hub.docker.com/r/triliumnext/notes)) follow [the server installation docs](https://triliumnext.github.io/Docs/Wiki/server-installation). ## 💻 Contribute ### Code Download the repository, install dependencies using `pnpm` and then run the server (available at http://localhost:8080): ```shell git clone https://github.com/TriliumNext/Notes.git cd Notes pnpm install pnpm run server:start ``` ### Documentation Download the repository, install dependencies using `pnpm` and then run the environment required to edit the documentation: ```shell git clone https://github.com/TriliumNext/Notes.git cd Notes pnpm install pnpm nx run edit-docs:edit-docs ``` ### Building the Executable Download the repository, install dependencies using `pnpm` and then build the desktop app for Windows: ```shell git clone https://github.com/TriliumNext/Notes.git cd Notes pnpm install pnpm nx --project=desktop electron-forge:make -- --arch=x64 --platform=win32 ``` For more details, see the [development docs](https://github.com/TriliumNext/Notes/blob/develop/docs/Developer%20Guide/Developer%20Guide/Building%20and%20deployment/Running%20a%20development%20build.md). ### Developer Documentation Please view the [documentation guide](./docs/Developer%20Guide/Developer%20Guide/Environment%20Setup.md) for details.
