I downloaded the debian package from [https://localbyflywheel.com/community/t/local-beta-5-2-0/16344](https://localbyflywheel.com/community/t/local-beta-5-2-0/16344). It gets installed in /opt/Local Beta so it doesn’t overwrite my stable version of Local in /opt/Local. When trying to run local-beta by issuing the command in terminal I got: [24172:0109/111117.240413:FATAL:setuid\_sandbox\_host.cc(157)] The SUID sandbox helper binary was found, but is not configured correctly. Rather than run without sandboxing I’m aborting now. You need to make sure that /opt/Local Beta/chrome-sandbox is owned by root and has mode 4755. Trace/breakpoint trap So I did sudo chmod 4755 chrome-sandbox. Now I only get “Trace/breakpoint trap” as output and no local window in sight. Any help would be greatly appreciated since I need the option to select PHP versions because I can not get my stable version of Local to use PHP 7.3 and my project depends on it ☹ ---

update: after a reboot, local-beta appears in my menu but nothing happens when I start it and I don’t know where to find the log for the beta ---

@KoenG, Thanks for the report! I’m curious to know what’s going on. You can find the log file at `/home/USERNAME/.config/Local Beta/local-beta.log` ---

I checked my home folder and there is only a Local folder inside .config, no Local Beta folder. ---

Got it! Is there any way you can try what Mo Bitar suggests in this comment? [https://github.com/standardnotes/forum/issues/690#issuecomment-531802728](https://github.com/standardnotes/forum/issues/690#issuecomment-531802728) Just be sure to adjust the commands accordingly so the launch command points to `local-beta`. ---

Thanks! I will try this later today since it’s on my machine at home. ---

Sorry for my late reply, I didn’t a chance to dive in before. I tried your suggestion and that works. Thanks you for the help! ---
