Download MoneyScope

Linux Installation

Aegis MoneyScope for Linux is available as a Snap package across all major distributions, or as a standalone Debian/Ubuntu (.deb) package.

Step 1: Install the App

Option 1: Snap Package

Install Aegis MoneyScope directly from the Snap Store:

Or run the following command in your terminal:

To open statement files on USB drives, also run this once:

The Snap updates itself automatically as new versions are published.

Option 2: Debian / Ubuntu (.deb)

1. Download the .deb package using the button above, then open your terminal.

2. Navigate to your Downloads folder:

3. Install the package using apt (recommended):

Note: using sudo apt install will automatically pull in any required system dependencies. The package bundles its own Python environment.

Step 2: Set Up the Local AI (Optional)

Reading unusual PDF layouts, AI categorization, the AI Advisor and cash-flow explanations use a language model running on your own computer through Ollama. Install Ollama (see our Ollama setup guide):

Then pull the default model (about 9 GB, needs roughly 16 GB of RAM):

On a computer with less memory, pull qwen2.5:7b (about 4.7 GB, roughly 8 GB of RAM) and select it under Configure → LLM Settings. A GPU makes answers much faster but isn't required. The app checks Ollama on first start and explains anything that is missing.

Without Ollama, OFX/QFX/CSV imports, rule-based categorization and every Analytics view still work.

Step 3: Import Your Statements

Launch Aegis MoneyScope from your applications menu (Office → Finance) and drag a few months of statements onto the Accounts panel. Where your bank offers it, download OFX/QFX or CSV — they're exact, instant and don't need the AI model. See the documentation for more.

Your data is stored in ~/.aegismoneyscope/ (with the Snap: ~/snap/aegismoneyscope/current/.aegismoneyscope/) and is kept when the package is removed or updated.
