Installation¶
Here are the guides to download and install LVGL Pro Editor appropriate for your platform:
Windows¶
Install WSL¶
Before using the Editor WSL
(Windows Subsystem for Linux) needs to be installed.
Open a Terminal and type wsl.exe --list --verbose
to see if it's already installed.
If it's not, just type wsl --install
and hit Enter.
Install the Editor¶
Navigate to https://pro.lvgl.io/#download and press the [Download] button and save the resulting image to your workstation. Then execute the downloaded installer to install LVGL Pro Editor.
Linux¶
Install Podman¶
The Editor is capable of recompiling the preview to use and run your C code as well. We handle the compilation in a container using Podman (similar to Docker).
The simple way of installing Podman is via Terminal:
Debian, Ubuntu, Linux Mint:
sudo apt-get install podman
Fedora:
sudo dnf -y install podman
Arch, Manjaro Linux:
sudo pacman -S podman
For other distos check out https://podman.io/docs/installation#installing-on-linux
Install the Editor¶
Installing LVGL Pro Editor on Linux is as simple as downloading the AppImage, making
it executable (chmod +x LVGL_Pro_Editor.AppImage
), and running it.

.AppImage
file and nothing happens, try running it from the terminal. If you see this error:(process:3943): Gtk-ERROR **: 11:45:01.301: GTK 2/3 symbols detected. Using GTK 2/3 and GTK 4 in the same process is not supported Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped)
