Yes to Linux. Not sure about Debian.<br>

Unfortunately RunRev has discontinued all support of the plugin.
It's currently broken with no plans from RunRev to fix it.<br>

I think it's about $400. They might have lowered this fee.<br>

Alain, as far as I can tell RunRev is concentrating all their
efforts in the mobile app arena. You can of course still use
Livecode to create traditional desktop apps, however, if you're
looking to create web applications you're probably better off with
something like Construct 2 which exports directly to HTML5.<br>
