Linux Setup Guide

Follow these steps to set up the Leap trading bot on your Linux system. This guide assumes you’re using a 64-bit distro and already have basic familiarity with using your terminal.


✅ Step 1: Install GNOME Keyring (64-bit)

Leap requires GNOME Keyring to securely store your credentials.

  1. Go to the official GNOME Keyring page: 👉 https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/GnomeKeyring

  2. Download and install the 64-bit version for your distro (Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, etc.).

    • On Ubuntu-based distros, you can also run:

      sudo apt update && sudo apt install gnome-keyring

🔐 Step 2: Ensure the “login” Keyring Exists

Most distros will already have a default keyring collection named login. If it doesn't exist, you’ll need to create it manually using Seahorse, a graphical frontend for GNOME Keyring.

To check and create the login keyring:

  1. Open Seahorse (search for “Passwords and Keys” in your applications).

  2. Go to the menu: File > New > Password Keyring

  3. Click Continue.

  4. When prompted for a name, enter:

    login
  5. Set a password (can be blank, but this depends on your distro and security needs).


⬇️ Step 3: Download and Run Leap

  1. Make the file executable:

    chmod +x leap-linux
  2. Run Leap:

    ./leap-linux

🛠️ Troubleshooting Tips

  • If Leap doesn't launch or complains about keyring access, double-check that:

    • gnome-keyring is installed

    • The login keyring exists and is unlocked

  • On some distros, you may need to start the keyring daemon manually:

    /usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --start --components=secrets
