Grok Bot for Linux: Unofficial port of the official app (open source)

Grok Bot for Linux

Unofficial Ubuntu/Linux build of the Grok Bot desktop app.

Cursor ships Grok Bot for macOS and Windows only. This repo does the same thing the Codex Mac-to-Linux port did: take the official Electron app, put it on a Linux Electron runtime, and replace the Windows-only native addons.

It is not an xAI or Cursor product. Linux is unsupported by them.

What you get

The official Grok Bot UI — bots, the shared computer, sign-in with your Cursor account — running as a native Linux app. No Wine.

Current target: Grok Bot 0.29.0 on Electron 42.1.0 (x86_64).
