Installation

Installation

JobniacFast is installed from a release on the GitHub Releases page. Download the file for your system, check it against SHA256SUMS, then install it.

Requirements

• Windows 11 (x64), Linux (x86-64) or macOS 14 or later on Apple Silicon. Intel Macs are not supported.
• Linux packages are built on Ubuntu 24.04, so they need Ubuntu 24.04 or a newer distribution with an equal or newer glibc.
• Windows needs WebView2. Windows 11 includes it, and the installer installs it if it is missing.

Files in a release

System	File
Windows	JobniacFast_<version>_x64-setup.exe (NSIS installer)
Linux	JobniacFast_<version>_amd64.AppImage and JobniacFast_<version>_amd64.deb
macOS (Apple Silicon)	JobniacFast_<version>_aarch64.dmg
All	SHA256SUMS, a software bill of materials and third-party notices

Download SHA256SUMS next to the installer.

Check the download

Compare the SHA-256 hash of the file with the line for it in SHA256SUMS. If the two differ, do not run the file.

Windows (PowerShell):

Get-FileHash -Algorithm SHA256 .\JobniacFast_<version>_x64-setup.exe
Select-String -Path .\SHA256SUMS -Pattern 'x64-setup'

Linux:

sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS --ignore-missing

macOS:

shasum -a 256 -c SHA256SUMS --ignore-missing

Build provenance

When the repository is public, each release carries a build provenance attestation. You can check that a file was built by the project's release workflow with the GitHub CLI:

gh attestation verify <file> --repo JonHHH09/JobniacFastFs

Windows

1. Run the installer. It installs for your user only and does not ask for administrator rights.
2. The app is installed to %LOCALAPPDATA%\JobniacFast.

The Windows installer is not code-signed. Windows shows "Windows protected your PC" (SmartScreen). After you have checked the hash, click More info, then Run anyway. See Troubleshooting.

Linux

• AppImage: make the file executable (chmod +x) and run it.
• .deb: install it with your package manager, for example sudo apt install ./JobniacFast_<version>_amd64.deb.

A copy installed from the .deb cannot update itself. Download the new package from the releases page instead (see Updates).

macOS (Apple Silicon)

1. Open the DMG and drag JobniacFast to Applications.
2. Open it from Applications.

A release signed with a Developer ID certificate and notarized by Apple opens normally. Until that is set up, the app is only ad-hoc signed, and macOS says it cannot verify the app. After you have checked the hash, open System Settings, Privacy & Security, and choose Open Anyway for JobniacFast. You can also run:

xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/JobniacFast.app

The release notes say which kind of signature a release has.

Uninstall

• Windows: Settings, Apps, JobniacFast, Uninstall, or run uninstall.exe in the install folder.
• macOS: drag JobniacFast from Applications to the Bin.
• Linux: delete the AppImage, or remove the .deb with your package manager.

Uninstalling does not delete your data. It is stored outside the install folder; see Data and Privacy for the location and how to back it up or remove it.
