# How to receive `obsidian://` in Linux
## Background
For example, when we are authorizing OneDrive, we have to jump back to Obsidian automatically using `obsidian://`.
## Short Desc From Official Obsidian Doc
Official doc has some explanation:
<https://help.obsidian.md/Extending+Obsidian/Obsidian+URI#Register+Obsidian+URI>
# Long Desc
Assuming the username is `somebody`, and the `.AppImage` file is downloaded to `~/Desktop`.
1. Download and **extract** the app image file in terminal
```bash
cd /home/somebody/Desktop
chmod +x Obsidian-x.y.z.AppImage
./Obsidian-x.y.z.AppImage --appimage-extract
# you should have the folder squashfs-root
# we want to rename it
mv squashfs-root Obsidian
```
2. Create a `.desktop` file
```bash
# copy and paste the follow MULTI LINE command
# you might need to input your password because it requires root privilege
# remember to adjust the path
cat > ~/Desktop/obsidian.desktop <<EOF
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Obsidian
Comment=obsidian
Exec=/home/somebody/Desktop/Obsidian/obsidian %u
Keywords=obsidian
StartupNotify=true
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Icon=/home/somebody/Desktop/Obsidian/obsidian.png
MimeType=x-scheme-handler/obsidian;
EOF
# yeah we can check out the output
cat ~/Desktop/obsidian.desktop
## [Desktop Entry]
## ...
```
3. Right click the `obsidian.desktop` file on the Desktop, and click "Allow launching"
4. Double click the `obsidian.desktop` file.
