If you want to use Trilium on the desktop, download binary release for your platform from latest release, unzip the package and run trilium executable.

There are also some other options to start Trilium:

• trilium-no-cert-check - Trilium will not validate the certificates, useful e.g. when you're syncing against a sync server with self-signed certificate
  • Alternatively you can set NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0 environment variable to the Trilium process.
• trilium-portable - Trilium will try to create data directory in the trilium's directory
• trilium-safe-mode - start up in "safe mode" which disables any startup scripts which might e.g. crash the application
