eDEX-UI is a fullscreen, cross-platform terminal emulator and system monitor that looks and feels like a sci-fi computer interface.

Heavily inspired by the TRON Legacy movie effects (especially the Board Room sequence), the eDEX-UI project was originally meant to be "DEX-UI with less «art» and more «distributable software»". While keeping a futuristic look and feel, it strives to maintain a certain level of functionality and to be usable in real-life scenarios, with the larger goal of bringing science-fiction UXs to the mainstream.

Note: The original eDEX-UI project was archived in October 2021. This installer uses the security-patched fork which fixes a critical remote command execution vulnerability, with automatic fallback to the original release if needed.

Type or paste this command in your terminal:

bash <(wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fenix-linux/eDEX-UI_Installer/main/edex-ui_installer.sh)

This will open a graphical installer (zenity) that lets you install or uninstall eDEX-UI.

git clone https://github.com/fenix-linux/eDEX-UI_Installer
cd eDEX-UI_Installer
bash install.sh

You can uninstall eDEX-UI by running the installer script again — it will detect the existing installation and offer to remove it.

Alternatively, run the standalone uninstaller:

bash uninstall.sh

• wget and curl — for downloading files
• zenity — for the graphical installer dialogs (Option 1 only)
• git — for cloning the repo (Option 2 only)
• xdg-open — for opening links after installation

1. Detects your system architecture automatically
2. Downloads the AppImage from the security-patched fork (falls back to the original repo if unavailable)
3. Places the AppImage in ~/AppImage/ (graphical installer) or ~/ (direct installer)
4. Creates a .desktop entry so eDEX-UI appears in your application menu
5. Downloads the application icon
