Hi @basanagouda , and welcome to the forum! Sorry the installer isn’t functional. I will reach out to the Editor X team to let them know. In the meantime, you should be able to install OpenTAP using the OpenTAP installer: [Downloads | OpenTAP](https://opentap.io/downloads) And then install Editor X by running this in your terminal: `/opt/opentap/tap package install 'Editor X'` ---

Thank you @alexander.larsen , I have installed the editorX as per your guidance, can I know the command to run the EditorX, I tried using sudo tap editorx but I am getting output as in the attached image ![editox](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/opentap/original/2X/0/075b5637440ea236c1598e1d4496fadf31591640.jpeg) ---

`tap editorx` is correct. No sudo required. In general, we don’t recommend running `tap` with sudo unless you have a good reason to do so. I think the reason `sudo tap editorx` does not work is because `sudo` removes the environment variables from the calling process. In this case, I am guessing that Editor X failed to start because the `DISPLAY` variables was unset by sudo, which is a general problem for GUI applications. Can you run the application as a normal user with just `tap editorx`? ---

Can you try running it with the `--verbose` flag and post the entire log output? ---

That log output was pretty unexpected, so I went and investigated and found out that this is the log output from the `tap` command from `node-tap`, which is not related to OpenTAP. Try running `/opt/opentap/tap editorx`. If that still doesn’t work, I would like to see the verbose output. I hope this resolves the issue. ---

Thank you so much @alexander.larsen, It’s working now.
