Important
macOS first launch (no code signing yet). After dragging StemDeck to Applications, clear the Gatekeeper quarantine flag or macOS will say the app is damaged:
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/StemDeck.app
Upgrading from alpha.9 or earlier? If after installing you still see an old version or are missing recent features, clear the cached runtime once and relaunch:
rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/StemDeck/runtime ~/Library/Application\ Support/StemDeck/runtime.old

Blackwell GPU fix (RTX 5000 series, Windows)
RTX 5000 series users on the NVIDIA build were running stem separation on CPU instead of GPU. The CUDA setup was completing but the kernel verification step was silently failing, triggering a CPU fallback with no visible warning.
- Upgraded the bundled PyTorch for NVIDIA Blackwell (sm_120) from 2.7.1+cu128 to 2.8.0+cu128, which ships complete sm_120 kernels. This is the most likely root cause of the verification failure on RTX 5000 hardware.
- CUDA verification failures are now logged to
logs/setup.login the StemDeck data folder, making it possible to diagnose GPU setup problems. - When a GPU is detected but CUDA setup fails, the app now shows a visible error during setup instead of a status line that was easy to miss.
Installing
- macOS: drop the
.appinto Applications and launch (run thexattrcommand above first). - Windows: unzip the downloaded
.zip, then runStemDeck.exefrom the extracted folder. - Linux: download the
.tar.gzfor your hardware, extract it, and run./StemDeck. Install the WebKitGTK + GTK runtime prerequisites first (FFmpeg is fetched automatically on first launch):The NVIDIA build additionally needs a working NVIDIA driver such thatsudo apt install libwebkit2gtk-4.1-0 libgtk-3-0nvidia-smireports your GPU (the CUDA runtime itself is bundled -- no separate CUDA toolkit install needed). If you have no NVIDIA GPU, use the CPU-only tarball.
