Other Linux (portable tarball, you wire your own service)

wget https://github.com/DanWBR/NINA.Polaris/releases/download/v0.98.4/polaris-linux-x64.tar.gz
tar -xzf polaris-linux-x64.tar.gz
cd polaris-linux-x64
./NINA.Polaris

Replace linux-x64 with linux-arm64 on ARM hosts.

Windows x64 / ARM64 (portable zip)

Download polaris-win-x64.zip (or polaris-win-arm64.zip),
extract, and run NINA.Polaris.exe. Open
http://localhost:5000 in any browser.

Native camera support needs the vendor driver. The zip does not
bundle the camera SDKs, so install the maker's Windows driver for
the cameras you actually own (ZWO ASI, ToupTek, Altair, SVBony,
Player One) and Polaris picks them up. ASCOM and INDI cameras need
none of that.

For unattended Windows installs see the optional NSSM /
scheduled-task recipes in
docs/user-guide/installation.md.

Android companion app (controller for your rig)

Download polaris-android.apk, copy it to your phone, and open
it (allow "install from unknown sources"). It connects to a
Polaris server running on your imaging computer.
