Installing

Download the file for your system from the latest release:

System	File
macOS, Apple Silicon (M1 and later)	CraftPages-arm64.dmg
macOS, Intel	CraftPages-x64.dmg
Windows 10 / 11 (64-bit)	CraftPages-Setup.exe
Linux x64, any distribution	CraftPages-x86_64.AppImage
Linux x64, Debian / Ubuntu	craftpages_amd64.deb

Not sure which Mac you have? Apple menu → About This Mac: "Chip: Apple M…" means Apple Silicon, "Processor: Intel…" means Intel. macOS 12 Monterey or later is required.

macOS

1. Open the .dmg and drag CraftPages into Applications.
2. Open CraftPages from Applications. The first time, macOS asks whether to open an app downloaded from the internet; click Open.

The app is signed and notarized by Apple from version 1.1.2. If an older version says it "is damaged and can't be opened", run this in Terminal, then open the app again (or install the latest version):

xattr -cr /Applications/CraftPages.app

Windows

1. Run CraftPages-Setup.exe.
2. If Windows protected your PC (SmartScreen) appears, click More info → Run anyway. It shows because the installer isn't signed yet.
3. CraftPages is added to the Start menu and the desktop.

Linux

AppImage (any distribution):

chmod +x CraftPages-*.AppImage
./CraftPages-*.AppImage

On Ubuntu 22.04 and later you may need FUSE: sudo apt install libfuse2 (on 24.04: sudo apt install libfuse2t64).

On Ubuntu 24.04 and desktops based on it (Zorin OS 18, Linux Mint 22, Pop!_OS), the system doesn't let apps use Chromium's sandbox. The AppImage notices and starts without it. If it still doesn't open, start it from a terminal to see why, or use the .deb package below.

Debian / Ubuntu package:

sudo apt install ./craftpages_amd64.deb
