Install Google Antigravity on Ubuntu Linux – Agentic AI IDE Setup Guide
Google has entered the AI coding arena with Antigravity — a powerful agent-first development platform designed for the new era of autonomous AI agents.
Antigravity combines a familiar VS Code-like editor with advanced agent capabilities. It lets AI agents plan, execute, and manage complex software tasks across code, terminal, and browser — perfect for full project development, refactoring, debugging, and long-running autonomous workflows.
In this easy Ubuntu-focused tutorial, you’ll learn the complete setup process:
- Adding Google’s official APT repository and signing key
- Updating package lists and installing Antigravity via
sudo apt install antigravity - Handling the ~700 MB download and installation
- Launching the application for the first time
- Initial configuration, model selection (powered by Gemini models), and agent settings
- Tips for smooth running on Ubuntu 26.04 / 24.04 LTS
The entire process is straightforward and takes just a few minutes. Once installed, you get access to a modern agentic IDE that supports long-horizon tasks, implementation plans, parallel agents, and high-trust development workflows.
Whether you’re a professional developer working on large codebases or an indie hacker building side projects, Google Antigravity offers a fresh way to develop with AI superpowers directly on your Linux machine.
