Downloads

Pick the one for your machine. Each download bundles JavaFX, and JavaFX ships compiled
libraries per platform, so they are not interchangeable.

Your machine Download
Windows mdviewer-1.0.0-win.zip
Linux, Intel or AMD 64-bit mdviewer-1.0.0-linux.zip
Linux on ARM (Raspberry Pi) mdviewer-1.0.0-linux-aarch64.zip
macOS, Apple silicon (M1+) mdviewer-1.0.0-mac-aarch64.zip
macOS, Intel mdviewer-1.0.0-mac.zip

Needs Java 21 or newer. Unzip, then:

java -jar mdviewer-1.0.0.jar

On a Wayland desktop — KDE Plasma 6 and recent GNOME default to it — JavaFX 21 has no
Wayland backend and reaches the screen through XWayland. If the window never appears:

GDK_BACKEND=x11 java -jar mdviewer-1.0.0.jar

Each zip has a RUN.txt with the details for that platform.

If you downloaded mdviewer-1.0.0-release.zip, replace it. That archive contains a
Windows-only jar. On Linux and macOS it fails at startup with
Error initializing QuantumRenderer: no suitable pipeline found, which reads like a
graphics driver problem and is not — the jar simply has no renderer built for your
system. It is kept only so existing links do not break.
