Install QOwnNotes On Linux

For you to integrate QOwnNotes with ownCloud you’ll need to have ownCloud server, as well as Notes, QOwnNotesAPI, and Tasks or Tasks Plus OwnCloud apps. The good news is
that you can automatically install all of them from the ownCloud web interface.

QOenNotesAPI and Notes ownCloud apps are listed as experimental projects so you will need to have experimental apps enabled in order to find and install them. Do this using ownCloud’s web interface from the settings section.
