# 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]

# yeah we can check out the output
|
|
cat ~/Desktop/obsidian.desktop
