Install¶
Download from voltius.app or GitHub releases.
winget (auto-updating):
SmartScreen may warn that the publisher is unverified (the app is not yet code-signed) — choose More info → Run anyway.
Or download an installer:
voltius_x.y.z_x64-setup.exe— NSIS installer (recommended)voltius_x.y.z_x64_en-US.msi— MSI for managed deployments
ARM64 builds are published with an aarch64 suffix.
Recommended — apt / dnf repository (signed, and updated through your package manager):
This adds the Voltius repo and installs the app; afterwards it stays current via sudo apt upgrade / sudo dnf upgrade. Per-distro and manual steps are in the README. amd64/x86_64 and arm64/aarch64 are both provided.
Or download a single package:
.deb(Debian/Ubuntu):sudo apt install ./voltius_*.deb.rpm(Fedora/RHEL):sudo dnf install ./voltius_*.rpm.AppImage(portable):chmod +x voltius_*.AppImage && ./voltius_*.AppImage
Arch — AUR (community-maintained by ezhkov, not published by this repo's CI):
voltius (source build) and voltius-git (latest main) are also on the AUR. If any of these fall behind, the apt/dnf repo above is the maintained fallback.
Recommended — Homebrew:
The app is ad-hoc signed but not notarized (no Apple Developer account yet), so macOS Gatekeeper warns on first launch — Control-click (right-click) Voltius.app and choose Open, then confirm. You only need to do this once.
Or download the .dmg for your chip:
Voltius_x.y.z_aarch64.dmg— Apple Silicon (M1 and later)Voltius_x.y.z_x64.dmg— Intel
Open the .dmg, then drag Voltius.app into /Applications. On first launch, right-click Voltius.app → Open, or use System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway.
\"Voltius.app is damaged and cannot be opened\"
If macOS calls the app damaged (rather than showing the normal "unidentified developer" prompt), the copy picked up the quarantine flag — this applies to a Homebrew install as well as a downloaded .dmg. Strip the quarantine metadata and launch again:
Don't download voltius_darwin_*
The extensionless voltius_darwin_aarch64 / voltius_darwin_x64 files are raw binaries for advanced/CLI use, not the app. macOS opens them as text if you double-click them — grab the .dmg instead.
Auto-updates¶
Voltius checks for updates on launch and prompts you when one is ready. Updates are signed with a bundled minisign key — no opt-out.
Linux packages installed from the apt/dnf repository update through your system package manager instead (apt upgrade / dnf upgrade, including unattended upgrades).
Build from source¶
AGPLv3. See CONTRIBUTING.md. Requires Node.js 24+, pnpm, Rust, and Tauri prerequisites.
