The same hashes are in the SHA256SUMS file next to the packages.

REQUIREMENTS
-------------------------------------------------------------------

- Ubuntu 22.04 or newer, or another Debian based distribution with
  GTK 3, NSS and libsecret (apt installs them automatically).
- A desktop session. GraphQLab is a graphical application.

VERIFY THE DOWNLOAD
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Put the .deb and SHA256SUMS in the same folder, then run:

    sha256sum -c --ignore-missing SHA256SUMS

It must print OK for the package you downloaded.

INSTALL
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Pick the file that matches your machine ('dpkg --print-architecture'
tells you which one that is):

    sudo apt install ./GraphQLab-0.1.0-amd64.deb
    sudo apt install ./GraphQLab-0.1.0-arm64.deb

Using apt (not dpkg -i) installs the missing libraries for you.
GraphQLab then shows up in the application menu. From a terminal you
can also start it with:

    /opt/GraphQLab/graphqlab

UPDATE
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Install the newer .deb the same way. Your data is kept.

UNINSTALL
-------------------------------------------------------------------

    sudo apt remove graphqlab

Your projects and history stay on disk. To delete them as well, remove
the data folder (see below).

WHERE YOUR DATA LIVES
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Everything is stored locally in a SQLite database. Nothing is sent to
any cloud service.

    ~/.config/GraphQLab/playground.db

An installation that was first used under the old package name
keeps using its existing folder instead:

    ~/.config/graphql-playground/playground.db

BUILD INFO
-------------------------------------------------------------------
