It doesnt run for me as well on Ubuntu

Solved - you need libgconf-2-4

apt-get install libgconf-2-4

to install on Ubuntu you will need to:

1) download the latest rn-debugger-linux-x64.zip from
2) unzip it and move the folder to /opt

cd ~/Downloads
sudo unzip rn-debugger-linux-x64.zip -d /opt/ReactNativeDebugger

3) preferably rename the executable

cd /opt/ReactNativeDebugger 
sudo mv 'React Native Debugger' rndebugger

4) Add the folder which includes the React Native Debugger renamed executable to your path

vim ~/.bash_profile
export PATH="$PATH:/opt/ReactNativeDebugger"

5) Download the icon from the repository and place it in your /opt/ReactNativeDebugger folder

sudo mv ~/Downloads/logo.png /opt/ReactNativeDebugger/logo.png

5) Create a desktop entry, so that you can pin react native debugger to your dock

vim ~/.local/share/applications/rndebugger.desktop

Include and edit the entry and save the file.
It is important that you replace Exec and Icon with the absolute path to the executable and logo files

[Desktop Entry]
Version=0.9.7
Type=Application
Name=ReactNativeDebugger
Exec=/opt/ReactNativeDebugger/rndebugger
Icon=/opt/ReactNativeDebugger/logo.png
Categories=Development;IDE;
Terminal=false
StartupNotify=true
StartupWMClass=rndebugger

@fabriziobertoglio1987 Thanks !! I guess the Desktop Entry should have Exec as /opt/ReactNativeDebugger/rndebugger

[fabriziobertoglio1987]

@amanboss9 yes, you are right. Thanks !

if the above doesn't work try

Exec=/opt/ReactNativeDebugger/react-native-debugger
