Release list
v1.0.8
Download and install
The downloads under Assets are standalone applications - No Python installation
is required.
Important
These builds are not signed with a paid Windows code-signing certificate or
an Apple Developer ID, so Windows and macOS will show a security warning on
first launch. Only continue if you downloaded the file from the official
AlanRockefeller/inat.visualizer.py release page.
Windows 10 or 11
- Under Assets, download
iNat-Seasonal-Visualizer-Windows.zip. - Extract the ZIP file, open the extracted
iNat-Seasonal-Visualizerfolder,
and double-clickiNat-Seasonal-Visualizer.exe. Keep the other extracted
files beside the executable; together they make up the portable app. - If Microsoft Defender SmartScreen says Windows protected your PC, click
More info. Confirm that the app name is
iNat-Seasonal-Visualizer.exe, then click Run anyway.
Windows shows this warning because the executable has no publisher certificate;
it does not by itself mean that Windows found malware.

Linux
Download iNat-Seasonal-Visualizer-Linux.tar.gz, extract it, open the extracted
iNat-Seasonal-Visualizer directory, and run the iNat-Seasonal-Visualizer
executable inside it.
First launch
The app offers to download an optional local database of approximately 1 GB.
