This is not a full ManicTime Windows port to Linux. It is a tracker, which can send computer usage data to ManicTime Cloud or ManicTime Server, where you can view the reports.

sudo yum install <downloaded file>.rpm

Other Linux distributions

There are some packages you need to install before ManicTime will start working. These packages are different on different Linux distributions, so you will need to find comparable packages on your distribution. The following are lists of required packages on Ubuntu and CentOs (note that if you use Ubuntu or CentOs, just use the installer which will install these packages).
