🛠️ Maintenance: Status & Complete Uninstallation

Our distribution infrastructure is designed to be transparent, auditable, and 100% reversible. Whether you installed via our universal script or native system package managers, you can cleanly remove components without leaving orphaned files.

🔍 Inspect Installation Status

Check which applications, versions, repository definitions, GPG keys, and desktop extensions are active on your system (works without sudo):

curl -fsSL https://x3m-industries.github.io/antigravity-packages/install.sh | bash -s -- --status

⚡ Universal 1-Command Reversible Uninstallation

Cleanly remove packages via your native package manager (dnf, apt, or zypper), purge repository definitions, delete GPG keyrings, remove desktop menu entries, and eliminate file manager extensions while safely preserving your personal project workspaces in ~/.config and $HOME:

curl -fsSL https://x3m-industries.github.io/antigravity-packages/install.sh | bash -s -- --uninstall

🟠 How to Uninstall from Ubuntu, Debian & Linux Mint (APT)

1. Remove the native DEB packages and user-space CLI agent:

sudo apt remove antigravity-ide antigravity && rm -f ~/.local/bin/agy

2. (Optional) Remove the configured APT repository source and GPG keyring:

sudo rm -f /etc/apt/sources.list.d/antigravity.sources /etc/apt/sources.list.d/antigravity.list /etc/apt/keyrings/antigravity.gpg && sudo apt update

🎩 How to Uninstall from Fedora, RHEL & AlmaLinux (DNF)

1. Remove the RPM packages and user-space CLI agent:

sudo dnf remove antigravity-ide antigravity && rm -f ~/.local/bin/agy

🏹 Arch Linux, Manjaro & EndeavourOS — Antigravity Arch Linux

Arch Linux developers can run Google Antigravity using our native user-space installer, standalone Arch PKGBUILD templates, or converted Debian packages.

⚡ Option 1: Universal CLI ('agy') Installer (User-Space, No Root)

Install Google's official Antigravity CLI terminal agent directly into ~/.local/bin/agy. Preserves Google's background auto-updating every 15 minutes without requiring root or modifying pacman databases:

curl -fsSL https://x3m-industries.github.io/antigravity-packages/install.sh | bash -s -- --cli-only

📦 Option 2: Native Arch PKGBUILD (makepkg)

Build and install native Arch packages with makepkg -si using the definitions maintained in our repository's pkgbuild/ directory:

git clone https://github.com/x3m-industries/antigravity-packages.git && cd antigravity-packages/pkgbuild/antigravity-ide-bin && makepkg -si

🔄 Option 3: Convert DEB to Pacman Package via debtap

Directly convert our signed Debian package into an Arch .pkg.tar.zst pacman archive:

curl -fsSLO https://github.com/x3m-industries/antigravity-packages/releases/latest/download/antigravity-ide_2.5.5-4923483625488384.3_amd64.deb && debtap -u && debtap antigravity-ide_*.deb && sudo pacman -U antigravity-ide-*.pkg.tar.zst

🛠️ Troubleshooting & High-Impact Fixes

Diagnose and resolve common Linux runtime issues, sandboxing permission errors, and browser authentication redirects.

Ubuntu 24.04+ SUID Sandbox Error (The SUID sandbox helper binary was found...)

Starting with Ubuntu 24.04 (Noble Numbat), the Linux kernel blocks unprivileged user namespaces via AppArmor. Raw tarballs extracted into /opt crash with The SUID sandbox helper binary was found, but is not configured properly. Our native .deb and .rpm packages automatically set hardened SUID permissions (04755 root:root) during package installation. If fixing an existing manual extraction:

sudo chown root:root /usr/share/antigravity-ide/chrome-sandbox && sudo chmod 4755 /usr/share/antigravity-ide/chrome-sandbox

Google OAuth Browser Redirects Failing (antigravity-ide:// and antigravity://)

When logging into your Google account, your browser redirects to an antigravity-ide:// URI callback. If this handler is unregistered, login fails silently. Our packages register these automatically. To verify or manually register with FreeDesktop:

xdg-mime default antigravity-ide-url-handler.desktop x-scheme-handler/antigravity-ide && xdg-mime default antigravity.desktop x-scheme-handler/antigravity

Updating Applications to the Latest Release

To upgrade your installed Antigravity packages via your system package manager:

# Fedora / RHEL / Rocky (DNF):
sudo dnf update antigravity-ide antigravity

# Ubuntu / Debian (APT):
sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade antigravity-ide antigravity

# openSUSE (Zypper):
sudo zypper update antigravity-ide antigravity

❓ Complete FAQ Archive

Frequently asked questions regarding architecture, packaging, sandboxing, and updates.

What is the difference between antigravity-ide and antigravity?

Google provides two distinct desktop applications for Linux:
• antigravity-ide: The official Google AI code editor based on Code OSS with application menu launchers, diff viewer, and antigravity-ide:// browser OAuth handlers.
• antigravity: Google's official Agent Hub (Antigravity 2.0) interface for configuring and orchestrating autonomous coding agents. Google's standalone terminal agent (agy) is installed separately into user-space (~/.local/bin/agy).

How do daily automated updates work?

A GitHub Actions automated cron workflow checks Google's official download CDN daily at 02:30 UTC. Whenever Google pushes a new release, packages for both x86_64 and aarch64 are built, sanitized, signed, tested in Fedora/Ubuntu containers, and deployed. You receive them via standard system updates (dnf update or apt upgrade).

Why should I use native RPM or DEB packages instead of extracting tarballs to /opt?

Manual tutorials often instruct users to unpack Google tarballs into /opt/antigravity. While this seems simple initially, it creates severe real-world problems:
• Broken In-App Auto-Updates: Because /opt is owned by root, Electron's unprivileged auto-updater fails silently with permission errors, trapping you in manual update cycles.
• Missing High-Res Icons: Google bundles the Hub's icon inside app.asar. Manual installers get stuck with generic desktop gear icons. Our packages dynamically parse the ASAR header and register native 512x512 icons.
• Broken Google OAuth Logins: Manual desktop files omit URL protocol handlers (antigravity:// and antigravity-ide://), causing browser login redirects to fail.
• Hardened Chromium Sandboxing: Ubuntu 24.04+ restricts unprivileged user namespaces via AppArmor. Without hardened 4755 root:root permissions on chrome-sandbox, Electron apps crash.
• Package Manager Integration: Native RPM & DEB packages update seamlessly via apt upgrade or dnf update, verify GPG signatures, resolve shared libraries, and uninstall cleanly without orphaned files.

How do I update Google Antigravity IDE in Ubuntu or Debian?

Run sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade antigravity-ide antigravity, or simply perform your regular system upgrade with sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade.

Does this include GNOME Files (Nautilus) right-click integration?

Yes! When Antigravity IDE is installed, the installer sets up a Nautilus extension allowing you to right-click any file, directory, or empty folder background and select "Open in Antigravity IDE".

Are ARM64 / aarch64 systems supported?

Yes! Both x86_64 (Intel/AMD) and aarch64 (ARM64, Raspberry Pi 4/5 64-bit, Ampere, Apple Silicon Linux VMs) RPM and DEB packages are natively built and published for every release.

Is it safe to run the universal installer more than once?

Yes, the universal installer is completely idempotent. Running it multiple times safely refreshes repository definitions and GPG keys without creating duplicates, and upgrades your applications to the latest upstream release.

How do I check installation status or cleanly uninstall?

Run curl -fsSL https://x3m-industries.github.io/antigravity-packages/install.sh | bash -s -- --status to inspect installed components, or pass --uninstall to cleanly remove packages, repos, and extensions without touching your personal projects.

How do I uninstall Google Antigravity from Ubuntu or Debian?

To remove native DEB packages and user-space CLI components:
sudo apt remove antigravity-ide antigravity && rm -f ~/.local/bin/agy
To purge configured repository lists and signing keyrings as well, pass --uninstall to the installer:
curl -fsSL https://x3m-industries.github.io/antigravity-packages/install.sh | bash -s -- --uninstall

How do I uninstall Google Antigravity from Fedora, RHEL, or openSUSE?

On Fedora/RHEL: sudo dnf remove antigravity-ide antigravity && rm -f ~/.local/bin/agy.
On openSUSE: sudo zypper remove antigravity-ide antigravity && rm -f ~/.local/bin/agy.
To completely remove repository files and desktop integrations in one command: curl -fsSL https://x3m-industries.github.io/antigravity-packages/install.sh | bash -s -- --uninstall.

How do I remove manual /opt/antigravity tarball extractions?

Manual extractions leave root-owned files in /opt that conflict with system packages. Clean them up with:

sudo rm -rf /opt/Antigravity* /opt/antigravity* && sudo rm -f /usr/local/bin/antigravity* && rm -f ~/.local/share/applications/antigravity*.desktop

.
Our universal installer (install.sh --uninstall) automatically scans for and removes these obsolete files.

How do I fix the 'chrome-sandbox SUID' or permission error on Ubuntu 24.04?

Ubuntu 24.04 Noble Numbat and hardened Linux kernels restrict unprivileged user namespaces via AppArmor. When extracting raw tarballs, Electron crashes with The SUID sandbox helper binary was found, but is not configured properly. Our native .deb and .rpm packages automatically configure hardened 04755 root:root permissions on chrome-sandbox during package installation, completely preventing this issue.

How do I fix Google login or browser OAuth redirect (antigravity-ide://) not opening?

Google login redirects use custom URL protocol schemes (antigravity-ide:// and antigravity://). When tarballs are extracted manually without desktop protocol handler registration, browsers fail to hand the authentication token back to the editor. Our packages automatically register FreeDesktop URL handlers via /usr/share/applications/antigravity-ide-url-handler.desktop so browser OAuth login redirects complete seamlessly.

How do I install Google Antigravity on Fedora using DNF?

To configure the Antigravity Fedora DNF repository, add our official repository file:
