Installers built from this tag.

  • macOS: download the .dmg, double-click to mount, drag BALLView.app to /Applications. Signed + notarized (Phase 8a) — no Gatekeeper prompt expected on macOS 14+ / macOS 26+. If the cert is still pending procurement, the .dmg ships unsigned: right-click → Open → confirm on first launch, or run xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/BALLView.app once.
  • Windows: download the .exe installer (NSIS, per-user install to %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\BALLView — no admin/UAC required). Windows SmartScreen will warn on first run until the SignPath Foundation OSS signing cert lands (Phase 8b). Click More info → Run anyway to proceed. See packaging/windows/README-SMARTSCREEN.md for the full guide + integrity verification flow.
    Windows installer SHA256: 97744b26844ede8c850153069057aefb8033d55decaf7dfeb1a1fcf7af869d50
    A portable .zip (extract-and-run, no installer) is also available for users who don't want a Start Menu entry.

Build from source: see BUILD-macos.md (macOS), the GitHub Actions CI workflow at the same tag for the Linux + Windows recipes.

  • Linux: four artifacts per arch (x86_64 + arm64): .AppImage (portable, double-click to run — bundles Qt 6.8 + plugins via linuxdeploy; remember chmod +x then ./BALLView-*.AppImage), .deb (Debian / Ubuntu 24.04+; sudo apt install ./BALLView-*.deb), .rpm (Fedora 40+ / RHEL / openSUSE; sudo dnf install ./BALLView-*.rpm), and a portable .tar.gz (extract-and-run, requires system Qt 6.8+). All Linux SKUs are LGPL — FFTW is intentionally absent (no GPL relicensing). See BUILD-linux.md for build-from-source instructions and .planning/phases/08c-packaging-linux/08c-FFTW-GPL-DECISION.md for the GPL rationale.
