Not sure which one?
- Windows: open Settings → System → About and look at System type. "x64-based processor" means Windows; "ARM-based processor" means Windows on ARM.
- Mac: open the Apple menu → About This Mac. "Chip: Apple M…" means Apple silicon; "Processor: Intel" means Intel.
For IT teams: Tern_0.5.1_x64_en-US.msi installs the Windows version with Group Policy or Intune.
You can ignore latest.json and the .app.tar.gz files in the list below. Installed copies of Tern use them to update themselves.
What's new
- Clearer downloads. Every release now starts with a "Which file do I need?" table: each type of computer in plain words, with a direct link to its file, and how to check which one you have.
- A shorter file list. The separate signature files are gone. Updates still check every file's signature; the signatures are now only inside
latest.json. - No changes to the app itself since 0.5.0.
Install notes
- Mac: Tern is not notarized yet. Open it once, then go to System Settings → Privacy & Security and click Open Anyway. If macOS still says it is damaged, run
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Tern.appin Terminal. - Windows: if SmartScreen appears, click More info, then Run anyway.
- Updates: from 0.3.1 on, Tern updates itself. From 0.1 or 0.2, install the new version by hand once.
