Installation
Go grab the latest release and download the .exe desktop client. You can install the exe either as non-administrator into your profile or as administrator system wide. The desktop client does register itself as auto start application after it was started for the first time. It does automatically check for updates and install them after either restarting the client or manually executed.
Go grab the latest release and download the .dmg desktop client. You need administrator privileges to drop the application into the program folder or alternatively as non-administrator drop it into your profile. The desktop client does register itself as auto start application after it was started for the first time. It does automatically check for updates and install them after either restarting the client or manually executed.
You can download the deb file directly from the latest release. But you won't receive any updates since automatic updates on debian get distributed via an apt repository.
The recommended way is to install the client via the apt repository:
echo "deb https://dl.bintray.com/gyselroth/balloon stable main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list
wget -qO - https://bintray.com/user/downloadSubjectPublicKey?username=gyselroth | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install balloon-desktopIf you want using nightly or unstable packages you can install those repositories. Those repositories are not meant for production, use at own risk!
echo "deb https://dl.bintray.com/gyselroth/balloon unstable main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.listor for nightly:
echo "deb https://dl.bintray.com/gyselroth/balloon nightly main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.listFor rpm based distributions you are required to grab the rpm from the lastest release. There is not (yet) a yum repository.
If you do not want a packaged bundle, you can grab the zipped archive from the latest release.
