Chapter 1 · 1B Calendar guide
Getting started: install 1B Calendar on Windows and Linux
Install 1B Calendar, open it and add your calendars. There's no 1Byte account to create.
Install 1B Calendar
- Download 1B Calendar from its page on 1bytesystems.com: the installer for Windows 10 and 11, or the RPM (Fedora, openSUSE), DEB (Debian, Ubuntu, Linux Mint) or AppImage package for Linux.
- On Windows, run the installer. It installs for your user only, without administrator rights. The installer isn't signed yet: if SmartScreen or your antivirus warns you, choose More info › Run anyway.
- On Linux, open the package with your software centre or install it from a terminal. The AppImage runs without installing: make it executable and open it.
- Open 1B Calendar. It starts with a calendar On this computer and the button Connect calendars at the bottom of the left column.
1B Calendar updates itself afterwards: chapter 10 explains how.
