Installation

Get the latest build from the Releases page.

Windows

• Installer — OpenResume-Builder-Setup-<version>.exe: Start Menu shortcut + uninstaller
• Portable — OpenResume-Builder-Portable-<version>.exe: no install, run from anywhere
• Winget — a manifest has been submitted (PR); once merged, winget install AbhisekkumarShandilya.OpenResumeBuilder will work

These are unsigned builds, so Windows SmartScreen will warn about an unidentified developer. Choose "More info" → "Run anyway" to proceed.

macOS

• OpenResume-Builder-<version>-arm64.dmg — Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3/M4)
• OpenResume-Builder-<version>-x64.dmg — Intel Macs

These are built via GitHub Actions on a real macOS runner, but not yet verified on actual Mac hardware — treat as unconfirmed until someone tests them.

Unsigned and not notarized, so macOS Gatekeeper will block a normal double-click. Right-click the app → "Open" to bypass Gatekeeper once.

Linux

Download OpenResume-Builder-<version>.AppImage from the Releases page, then:

chmod +x OpenResume-Builder-*.AppImage
./OpenResume-Builder-*.AppImage

That's it — AppImages are self-contained and don't need installation. If it won't launch:

• "FUSE" error or it silently does nothing: newer distros (Ubuntu 22.04+, Fedora, etc.) often don't ship libfuse2 by default, which AppImages need to mount themselves. Either install it:

  # Debian/Ubuntu
  sudo apt install libfuse2
  
  # Fedora
  sudo dnf install fuse-libs

  or skip FUSE entirely and have it extract-and-run itself:

  ./OpenResume-Builder-*.AppImage --appimage-extract-and-run

• Want a desktop/menu entry instead of running it from a terminal each time: install AppImageLauncher, then double-click the AppImage once and it'll offer to integrate it into your app menu.

This build is via CI on a real ubuntu-latest GitHub Actions runner, but not yet verified on real Linux hardware — same caveat as macOS, treat as unconfirmed until someone tests it and reports back.

There's no apt/snap install yet — that's tracked on the Roadmap.
