Install ESP Board Vault

Download the installer for your operating system. The .blockmap, latest*.yml, and builder-debug.yml files are release metadata and are not needed for a manual install.

Windows

1. Download the Windows x64 installer, or the Windows x64 portable zip.
2. Run the installer, or extract the zip file.
3. Launch ESP Board Vault from the Start menu, or run ESP Board Vault.exe from the extracted portable folder.

macOS

1. Download the correct package for your Mac:
   • Apple Silicon Macs with M1, M2, M3, or newer chips: macos-arm64 DMG, or the macos-arm64 zip if the DMG does not mount.

2. For DMG downloads, open the .dmg file and drag ESP Board Vault into Applications.
3. For ZIP downloads, extract the zip file and move ESP Board Vault.app into Applications.
