Yes, it can be done. As it is not available officially, you have to download it from this git repository link to repo. Use the command below to download the software :

wget https://github.com/danielchatfield/trello-desktop/releases/download/v0.1.9/Trello-linux-0.1.9.zip -O trello.zip

Use the following commands to install the downloaded file :

sudo mkdir /opt/trello

sudo unzip trello.zip -d /opt/trello/

You can now use trello, type trello in the terminal to launch it, or you can create a desktop shortcut as given below.

Create a shortcut to facilitate program execution :

sudo ln -sf /opt/trello/Trello /usr/bin/trello

Create a launcher for the program by running the command below :

echo -e '[Desktop Entry]\n Version=1.0\n Name=trello\n Exec=/opt/trello/Trello\n Icon=/opt/trello/resources/app/static/Icon.png\n Type=Application\n Categories=Application' | sudo tee /usr/share/applications/trello.desktop

Put the shortcut on your desktop using the system file manager or the command below, and use it to start the program :

sudo chmod +x /usr/share/applications/trello.desktop

After this make sure that you have libgconf2-4 installed in your system. If you don't have, then install it using this command :

sudo apt-get install libgconf2-4

As of today, Trello does not have a native Linux app. In my opinion, there are 2 meaningful things you can do about this:

  • Use the unofficial app mentioned in the answer by matinict.
  • Or use a site specific browser window with Trello app quickly callable by a keyboard shortcut. I use this as an alternative to Ubuntu Todo app which is unfortunately not syncing with the cloud.

Here is how to do it with Firefox v73+:

  1. go to about:config, Accept the Risk and Continue
  2. search for ssb and using double-click flip it to true
  3. restart Firefox (I know about ssb thanks to this post of Andrew Braun)
  4. now the command firefox --ssb https://trello.com/yourboard should work
  5. now go to Ubuntu Settings > Keyboard Shortcuts > Custom Shortcuts > Add
  6. fill in the command, specify a shortcut (I use Super + F1) and there you go, you have a Trello window quickly callable by a keyboard shortcut.

Here is how to do it with Chromium (I guess the same-ish applies for Chrome):

  1. sudo apt install chromium-browser
  2. open your Trello board in the Chromium browser
  3. click the 3 dots icon in the top right corner and choose More tools > Create Shortcut
  4. give the shortcut a name and check Open as window
  5. go to your Desktop where you will find a file named chrome-somethingsomething.Desktop
  6. open it with a text editor and copy the app-id
  7. this command opens the shortcut: /snap/bin/chromium --app-id=<the app id you have copied>
  8. do the steps 5. and 6. from the Firefox list.

Desktop shortcut instead of keyboard shortcut:

If you are more interested in "clicking an icon", this answer might be useful to you but I do not use it.

Other remarks:

  • chromium will remember the window position, which is cool
  • you can obviously close the window quickly with Alt+F4
  • of course, you can delete the .Desktop file from the Desktop
  • you can use Trello smartphone app so you have your todos always at hand

By adding this PPA to your system, You can update your system with unsupported packages from this untrusted PPA by adding ppa:atareao/trello-desktop to your system's Software Sources.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:atareao/trello-desktop
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt install trello-desktop

or

sudo snap install so-trello

Simply install Whale : https://www.electronjs.org/apps/whale

It's an unofficial Trello app that works flawlessly (I'm using Ubuntu Studio 20.04).

Focus|Project is for now a PC app, a Trello integration, which practically can be used as a speedy although reduced functionality Trello client (with some extras too!)

I'd put it as a todo ticker/note taker (incl. annotated images as attachments combined with a live markdown preview, but also desktop notifications) for now, with a growing set of features for offline Trello use (for starters it now supports a read-only board history for on/offline use in the form of fast to access, searchable data snapshots).

It's still in beta, but in my experience it works out well on at least Ubuntu as a lightweight short-range PM aide for the web (or electron) based heavier artillery.

You should be able to simply install it from Ubuntu Software under the focus-project name, or via the console:

snap install focus-project

At the moment it works off either a developer token (albeit that may or may not be a stretch for some - if it's prohibitive, let me know!) or a password-restricted, but more proper authorization for beta testers on Linux (ask :) ).

Enjoy!
