A lot of these steps are now out-dated, as a Kitematic Ubuntu package is now part of our release.
(Big thanks to @adomenech73 for the package PR)
Environment initialization
In order to be able to build and run Kitematic from scratch (clean Linux box), you'll need to install some packages.
Install build dependences
Debian
In a terminal, execute the following with root privileges:
$ apt-get install build-essential libcanberra-gtk-module
Npm packages can be finicky - Install NVM to ensure the proper version
$ curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.30.1/install.sh | bash
$ . ~/.nvm/nvm.sh
Add these lines to your ~/.bashrc, ~/.profile, or ~/.zshrc file to have it automatically sourced upon login:
export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm"
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && . "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" # This loads nvm
Install Node v4.2.2
nvm install 4.2.2
nvm alias default v4.2.2
Verify that you're running the proper node version node -v, which is v4.2.2
Install Docker
$ curl -sSL https://get.docker.com/ | sudo sh
$ sudo gpasswd -a ${USER} docker
$ sudo service docker restart
Now logout and login again, or execute the following in a terminal in order to tell the current terminal about the new docker group changes :
$ newgrp docker
Build Kitematic
In your developments folder or any other places:
$ git clone https://github.com/docker/kitematic
$ cd kitematic/
$ make
Start kitematic
From the Kitematic folder execute the following:
$ npm start
Troubleshooting
The terminal emulator symbolic link doesn't exists
You see this message when your Linux distribution does not have the x-terminal-emulator symbolic link installed.
This symbolic link is pointing to the default terminal which is then used by Kitematic in order to provide you access in a running container.
Depending on your distribution you need to find the right package to install. For example on Debian this page shows a list of possible packages to install x-terminal-emulator.
Arch Linux AUR package
This AUR package solely installs a binary build from the linux-support branch at https://github.com/zedtux/kitematic and adds a .desktop file and icon.
