Espanso Installation Guide

Espanso Manager is an interface for managing snippets. You need to install Espanso separately.

What is Espanso?

Espanso is a free, cross-platform text expander. You type a short code (e.g., :hello), and Espanso automatically replaces it with full text.

Works on Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Installation

Windows

  1. Download the installer from espanso.org/install
  2. Run the .exe file and follow the instructions
  3. Verify installation:
    • Open any text editor
    • Type :hello and press space
    • You should see "Hi there!"

macOS

brew install --cask espanso
espanso start

Linux

Debian/Ubuntu:

sudo apt install espanso
espanso start

Arch Linux:

sudo pacman -S espanso
espanso start

Configuration

After installation, Espanso creates a config folder:

  • Windows: %APPDATA%\espanso\
  • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/espanso/
  • Linux: ~/.config/espanso/

Your snippets are stored in match/base.yml inside this folder.

Required Version

Espanso Manager is compatible with Espanso v2.x. Version 1.x is not supported.
