UAC Launch Control is available for Windows, MacOS and Linux.

Windows

  1. Download the setup file from the releases.
    Scroll down to Assets and find the Windows installer - ending with .exe

  2. When download has finished, double click the downloaded file, follow any on screen instructions and the installer will take care of the rest.

Windows run warning!

Please note that you will get a warning about "Windows prevented an application from running" when running an unsigned .exe file on your system.
You will need to click Run anyway to be able to install the application.

MacOS

  1. Download the dmg-image from the releases.
    Under Assets find the release ending with .dmg

  2. When the download finishes, double click the .dmg file to mount the image

  3. Drag-and-drop the UAC Launch Control app-icon to the Applications directory.

A zip version is also available for MacOs if you prefer.

Linux

On linux you have different options, depending on your distro and what you want.

The recommended way, is to use the AppImage from the Releases page.

  1. Scroll down to Assets and click the .AppImage version.
    This is a complete standalone file, which requires no installation and is get updates from within the application itself.
  2. When the download has finished, simply double click the AppImage file, to open the application.

Ubuntu/Debian/PopOS/Mint

If you don't want to use the AppImage version you can use the .deb package on all Debian/Ubuntu derived distros.

  1. Downloader the .deb from the Releases.

  2. Open a terminal, and install with apt

sudo apt install /PATH/TO/DOWNLOAD/uac-launch-control_VERSION_amd64.deb

If you are unsure about /PATH/TO/DOWNLOAD/ you can simply type the first part of the command, and drag-and-drop the file into the terminal window, and hit enter.
*Take note of what version you're downloading, as this number changes on each update.

Arch/CachyOS/Manjaro

A prebuilt binary has been released on the AUR, that always follows the builds here on Github.

  1. Install with any AUR-helper, i.e yay or paru.
# If you use yay
yay -S uac-launch-control-bin

# If you use paru
paru uac-launch-control-bin

Alternatively you can also download the PKGBUILD from from the AUR and install it manually, if you don't use a helper.

  1. Clone the repo with git 
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/uac-launch-control-bin.git
  1. Change directory to the AUR repo
cd uac-launch-control-bin
  1. Run the build command
makepkg -si

and just follow the on-screen instructions.

Manually building the application

You can also download the entire repo, and build the application manually.

See the Getting Started section of the For Developers wiki for instructions.
