How to Install Google Antigravity on Fedora Linux

Antigravity is built for the part of development that eats time: wiring up a change, running tests, opening a browser, and checking whether the result actually works. To install Google Antigravity on Fedora, the clean path is Google’s official RPM repository so DNF, Fedora’s package manager, can handle the app like the rest of your system.

Fedora does not ship Google Antigravity in its default repositories. On a Fedora desktop, Google’s RPM repo gets the app onto the system, keeps updates simple, and makes removal straightforward if you decide it is not for you.

Install Google Antigravity on Fedora

Update Fedora packages before installing Google Antigravity

Start with a normal Fedora refresh so DNF has current metadata before you add the Antigravity repository:

sudo dnf upgrade --refresh

This guide uses sudo for commands that need root privileges. If your account is not in the sudoers file yet, follow the guide on how to add a user to sudoers on Fedora.

Add the Google Antigravity RPM repository

Google’s current Linux download page uses gpgcheck=0 for the RPM repository. During Fedora 43 validation, forcing gpgcheck=1 with Google’s published Artifact Registry key failed signature verification, so the repo file below matches the working upstream configuration.

Create the repository file in /etc/yum.repos.d/ so Fedora can see the official Antigravity packages:

sudo tee /etc/yum.repos.d/antigravity.repo <<EOF
[antigravity-rpm]
name=Antigravity RPM Repository
baseurl=https://us-central1-yum.pkg.dev/projects/antigravity-auto-updater-dev/antigravity-rpm
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0
EOF

Confirm the Google Antigravity repository

After saving the repo file, verify that Fedora sees the antigravity-rpm repository and that it is enabled:

dnf repo list --all antigravity-rpm

repo id         repo name                   status
antigravity-rpm Antigravity RPM Repository enabled

Install the Google Antigravity package with DNF

With the repo enabled, install Google Antigravity through DNF:

sudo dnf install antigravity

DNF currently shows a skipped OpenPGP warning for this repository because the working RPM setup uses gpgcheck=0. That matches Google’s published Fedora instructions and installed correctly during Fedora 43 validation.

Verify the Google Antigravity version and install path on Fedora

Check the RPM package name, confirm the launcher path, and print the application build from the terminal:

rpm -q antigravity
command -v antigravity
antigravity --version

antigravity-1.x.x-xxxxxxxxxx.el8.x86_64
/usr/bin/antigravity
1.x.x
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
x64

The rpm -q line shows the Fedora package version, while antigravity --version shows the application build. Those version numbers use different schemes, so they do not need to match.

The version strings above are placeholders that match the real output format. Your Fedora system will show the current package release and application build available from Google’s repository.

Launch Google Antigravity on Fedora

Open Google Antigravity from Activities

Antigravity is a desktop application. You can install the package on Fedora Server or a minimal image, but you still need a graphical session before the launcher and editor interface are useful.

1. Open Activities.
2. Search for Antigravity.
3. Select the Antigravity launcher to open the app.

Start Google Antigravity from a Fedora terminal session

If you are already in a desktop terminal session, you can also launch the app directly:

antigravity

Once the welcome screen opens, the first useful steps are straightforward:

• Click Open Folder to work against an existing local project.
• Use the Editor View for direct edits, inline AI actions, and normal IDE work.
• Open the Manager Surface when you want an agent to handle longer tasks and review the resulting Artifacts before you accept the work.

If this Fedora workstation still needs Git, install Git on Fedora first, then configure Git username and email before you start cloning repositories inside Antigravity.

Keep these official Google Antigravity resources handy

• Google Antigravity getting started docs explain the first-run workflow and product basics.
• Google Antigravity Linux download page publishes the current repository commands and Linux tarball link.
• Google Antigravity changelog is the best place to check what changed between releases.
• Google Antigravity support collects the official help and troubleshooting resources.
• Google’s Antigravity announcement gives a clear overview of the Editor View, Manager Surface, and Artifacts workflow.

Update Google Antigravity on Fedora

Once Antigravity is installed, there is no separate updater to learn. DNF handles it the same way it handles the rest of Fedora:

Task	Command	When to use it
Update only Google Antigravity	sudo dnf upgrade --refresh antigravity	Use this when you only want the editor refreshed.
Update the whole Fedora system	sudo dnf upgrade --refresh	Use this for regular workstation maintenance so Antigravity and the rest of Fedora stay current together.

If you prefer unattended package maintenance, the guide to install dnf-automatic on Fedora covers the background update path.

Troubleshoot Google Antigravity on Fedora

Fix the Google Antigravity signature verification error

If you copied an older repo example or tried to harden the repository by switching gpgcheck back on, DNF can fail with a signature mismatch. On Fedora 43, the failure looked like this during validation:

Transaction failed: Signature verification failed.
OpenPGP check for package "antigravity-1.x.x-xxxxxxxxxx.el8.x86_64" has failed: Import of the key didn't help, wrong key?

Rewrite the repo file to the current working upstream configuration, then retry the install with a forced metadata refresh:

sudo tee /etc/yum.repos.d/antigravity.repo <<EOF
[antigravity-rpm]
name=Antigravity RPM Repository
baseurl=https://us-central1-yum.pkg.dev/projects/antigravity-auto-updater-dev/antigravity-rpm
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0
EOF

sudo dnf clean all
sudo dnf install --refresh antigravity

After the install completes, rerun rpm -q antigravity and antigravity --version to confirm the package and application build are available again.

Remove Google Antigravity from Fedora

Remove the Google Antigravity package and repository

Uninstall the application first, then remove the repository file so Fedora stops checking for Antigravity updates:

sudo dnf remove antigravity
sudo rm /etc/yum.repos.d/antigravity.repo
sudo dnf clean all

Verify that the package and repository file are both gone:

rpm -q antigravity
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/antigravity.repo

package antigravity is not installed
ls: cannot access '/etc/yum.repos.d/antigravity.repo': No such file or directory

Delete your Google Antigravity user data on Fedora

The next command permanently deletes your Antigravity settings, cached data, and local profile from ~/.antigravity. If you might reinstall later, back it up first with cp -a ~/.antigravity ~/antigravity-backup.

Google Antigravity stores its user data in a single hidden directory in your home folder:

rm -rf ~/.antigravity

Conclusion

Antigravity is ready to open projects on Fedora, hand work off to agents, and stay updated through DNF like the rest of your system. If you want to round out the workstation, install GitHub Desktop on Fedora for a GUI Git workflow or install Docker on Fedora for disposable test environments.
