The linux installation depends on the distro you are using. Espanso has been tested in the following distros, but you shouldn't have many problems making it work on others.
Installing on Ubuntu / Debian
Espanso depends upon the X11 Record Extension, the xdo library and the xclip command,
so you will need to install those first with the following commands:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install libxtst6 libxdo3 xclip
You can now download the latest espanso release:
curl -L https://github.com/federico-terzi/espanso/releases/latest/download/espanso-linux.tar.gz | tar -xz -C /tmp/
And then move it to the /usr/local/bin/ directory
sudo mv /tmp/espanso /usr/local/bin/espanso
You should now have espanso installed in your system. To start it, type the following command:
espanso start
If you now type :espanso in any text field, you should see "Hi there!" appear!
At this point, you are ready to read the Getting Started tutorial.
Installing on Manjaro / Arch
