Installation
Download the latest build from the official Releases page. Every package has a matching .sha256 checksum.
Download the mac-arm64 DMG or ZIP. Open the DMG, or extract the ZIP and move LakeDB.app to Applications. The 0.7 beta is intentionally unsigned and may require Finder → right-click LakeDB → Open.
Download win-x64-setup.exe for a normal installation, or win-x64-portable.exe to run LakeDB without installing it. Windows SmartScreen may warn about the unsigned beta; verify that the file came from this repository before continuing.
Use the .deb package on Debian/Ubuntu-based systems, or the AppImage on other distributions:
chmod +x LakeDB-*-linux-x64.AppImage
./LakeDB-*-linux-x64.AppImageLakeDB checks public GitHub release metadata at startup by default and shows a notice when a newer compatible version exists. You can also use Help → Check for updates… or disable automatic checks under Preferences.
LakeDB does not silently replace itself. Open the release from the notice, close LakeDB, then replace or reinstall the application. Local data is stored outside the package, migrations create a safety snapshot and session data is preserved, but keeping an independent configuration backup before a major update is still recommended.
