Install and Use DocsFoundry

This page keeps the download flow inside GitHub Pages. It shows the latest published release artifacts, explains how to install them, and gives the first-run steps for macOS, Windows, and Linux.

Artifacts

Choose your platform

Each card shows the preferred download first, then the remaining release files for that platform. Installation notes stay with the relevant operating system.

macOS

DMG first, ZIP fallback

Best for end users who want the normal drag-to-Applications install flow.

Waiting for release assets…

Gatekeeper: install from the .dmg when possible. If the ZIP build is blocked, copy and paste this command: xattr -cr /Applications/DocsFoundry.app once, then reopen it.

Windows

NSIS installer first, ZIP fallback

Best for Windows users who want a standard installer or a portable ZIP option.

Waiting for release assets…

SmartScreen: if Windows shows a warning, click More info and then Run anyway because the installer is not code-signed yet.

Linux

AppImage, DEB, or TAR.GZ

Choose the package style that matches your distro and whether you want a portable build.

Waiting for release assets…

Linux tip: AppImage builds usually need chmod +x before running. DEB builds install cleanly with sudo apt install ./file.deb.
