Download GraphQLab for Linux

A .deb package for Debian, Ubuntu and derivatives, for amd64 and arm64.

Version 0.1.1 · 10 Nov 2026 · Debian / Ubuntu and derivatives

dpkg --print-architecture tells you which file you need: amd64 for Intel and AMD PCs, arm64 for ARM machines.

Requirements

Ubuntu 22.04 or newer, or another Debian based distribution with GTK 3, NSS and libsecret (apt installs them automatically). A desktop session is required: GraphQLab is a graphical application.

Verify the download

Put the .deb and SHA256SUMS in the same folder; it must print OK for the package you downloaded:

sha256sum -c --ignore-missing SHA256SUMS

Install on Linux

  1. Pick the file that matches your machine (see above).

  2. Install it with apt, not dpkg -i: it installs the missing libraries for you.

    sudo apt install ./GraphQLab-0.1.1-amd64.deb
sudo apt install ./GraphQLab-0.1.1-arm64.deb

  3. GraphQLab shows up in the application menu. From a terminal you can also start it with /opt/GraphQLab/graphqlab.

Update

Install the newer .deb the same way as the first time. Your projects and history are kept.

Uninstall

sudo apt remove graphqlab

Your projects and history stay on disk until you delete the data folder.

Where your data lives

Everything is stored locally in a SQLite database. Nothing is sent to any cloud service.

~/.config/GraphQLab/playground.db

An installation that was first used under the old package name keeps using its existing folder instead (graphql-playground in the same location).

Signing

Not signed. Built in a Docker container (Debian 12, Node 22). Check the SHA-256 values.
