Desktop Scriptures is an offline reader for the Bible, Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, Pearl of Great Price, Journal of Discourses, Lectures on Faith, and the Joseph Smith Translation, with the KJV Apocrypha, 1 Enoch, and the Book of Jasher available as opt-in volumes that aren't part of the Standard Works. Study with notes, tags, highlighting, keyword search, a Topical Guide, a daily Journal, hand-checked cross-references, General Conference and Liahona citations, and a Word Study tab showing the Hebrew and Greek behind the English and what Book of Mormon names may mean. Optional extras include chapters read aloud in voices you download once, AI-assisted search and Talk Prep (a guided helper that finds scriptures, talks, and articles for a talk or lesson, without writing it) through an AI service you choose, from OpenAI, Claude, and Gemini to one on your own computer, cloud-folder sync between your own devices, Church News and Come Follow Me, and reminders for General Conference, temple recommend renewal, and family history. Nothing reaches the network until you switch it on, except a weekly update of new talk and article citations, which you can turn off under View, and bug reports, which are sent only when you submit one. This is an unofficial app, not produced by or affiliated with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints or Community of Christ; sources, credits, and licenses are in the About menu and at https://github.com/kz6fittycent/Desktop-Scriptures.

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.
Snaps are discoverable and installable from the Snap Store, an app store with an audience of millions.
Snap is available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8 and RHEL 7, from the 7.6 release onward.
The packages for RHEL 7, RHEL 8, and RHEL 9 are in each distribution’s respective Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) repository. The instructions for adding this repository diverge slightly between RHEL 7, RHEL 8 and RHEL 9, which is why they’re listed separately below.
The EPEL repository can be added to RHEL 9 with the following command:
sudo dnf install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-9.noarch.rpm
sudo dnf upgrade
The EPEL repository can be added to RHEL 8 with the following command:
sudo dnf install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-8.noarch.rpm
sudo dnf upgrade
The EPEL repository can be added to RHEL 7 with the following command:
sudo rpm -ivh https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm
Adding the optional and extras repositories is also recommended:
sudo subscription-manager repos --enable "rhel-*-optional-rpms" --enable "rhel-*-extras-rpms"
sudo yum update
Snap can now be installed as follows:
sudo yum install snapd
Once installed, the systemd unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled:
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
To enable classic snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between /var/lib/snapd/snap and /snap:
sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
Either log out and back in again or restart your system to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
To install Desktop Scriptures, simply use the following command:
sudo snap install desktop-scriptures
Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap.
