  • Install Opensidian as a system package on Ubuntu

    Install the DEB package to get a menu entry, icon, and the notes app in one step.

    View prompt
    In the jpzk/opensidian repo, follow the Install table to download the DEB package for version 0.6.2 into <download-folder>, then install it with apt. Report the exact apt output line that confirms installation. Verify that running `opensidian --version` or launching it from the menu opens a window.

  • Check a release download against the signed checksums

    Confirm the AppImage or package matches the maintainer's signed SHA256SUMS before running it.

    View prompt
    In the jpzk/opensidian repo, download SHA256SUMS and SHA256SUMS.asc for v0.6.2 into <download-folder>, import the key listed in the README, and run gpg verify and sha256sum -c. Report the gpg verification result and each OK line. Verify that the gpg output shows a good signature from the expected key fingerprint before reporting success.

  • Build Opensidian from source with a pinned Rust toolchain

    Compile the release binary from the repo using the Rust version the README tested.

    View prompt
    Clone jpzk/opensidian into <work-folder>, go to src-tauri, and run cargo build --release --locked using Rust 1.98.0. Report the final cargo line and the path of the built binary. Verify that target/release/opensidian exists and is executable before reporting success.

  • Open an existing Obsidian vault and add a community theme

    Point Opensidian at a vault folder and install a theme into the vault's .obsidian folder.

    View prompt
    Given a vault at <vault-path> and a theme folder at <theme-path> containing manifest.json and theme.css, copy the theme into <vault-path>/.obsidian/themes/<name-from-manifest>/. Report the target folder path and the theme name from the manifest. Verify that the manifest name matches the folder name before reporting success.

  • Link research notes with wikilinks and attach PDFs and images

    Connect notes with wikilinks, review backlinks and the graph, and drop source files into notes.

    View prompt
    In an opensidian vault at <vault-path>, list the notes that contain [[wikilinks]] to <topic-note>, and report the names of notes that link back to it. Verify that each reported link target exists as a file in the vault before listing it.
