New in 0.6.6

• Glance as a Flatpak, for any Linux distribution. Download Glance-…-linux-x86_64.flatpak (or the aarch64 file) from the release and install it with flatpak install --user. It includes the AI tools: AI apps connect with flatpak run --command=glance-mcp io.github.redtrocks.glance, and Ask AI uses the agents installed on your PC. PostScript files need the .deb or .rpm version.

Install help

Windows. Run the installer; it installs for your account only, without administrator rights. SmartScreen warns about an unknown publisher because releases aren't code-signed yet: click More info → Run anyway. To open PDFs or images with Glance, pick it in Settings → Apps → Default apps → Glance. Needs Windows 10 (1809+) or 11; the installer fetches WebView2 if it's missing.

Ubuntu or Debian. sudo apt install ./Glance-…-linux-amd64.deb (or the arm64 file).

Fedora. sudo dnf install ./Glance-…-linux-x86_64.rpm (or the aarch64 file).

Any Linux (Flatpak). flatpak install --user ./Glance-…-linux-x86_64.flatpak (or the aarch64 file). PostScript files need the .deb or RPM.

Check a download. Its SHA-256 hash is in SHA256SUMS.txt: run Get-FileHash in PowerShell, or sha256sum -c --ignore-missing SHA256SUMS.txt on Linux.

Which processor? Most PCs are Intel or AMD. ARM means Snapdragon laptops, Surface Pro X and similar; on Windows, Settings → System → About → System type says which.
