Install

One command per platform. The installer resolves the latest release, verifies its SHA-256 and installs without asking for administrator rights on macOS and Windows.

macOS

$ curl -fsSL https://bentomux.takora.dev/install.sh | sh

macOS install command — downloads the .dmg and installs the .app bundle

$ curl -fsSL https://bentomux.takora.dev/install.sh | BENTOMUX_MANIFEST_URL=https://github.com/takora-dev/bentomux-v2/releases/download/vX.Y.Z/latest.json sh

Pinned install of one release, using the same installer

Linux

$ curl -fsSL https://bentomux.takora.dev/install.sh | sh

Linux install command — installs the AppImage and a desktop entry

$ curl -fsSL https://bentomux.takora.dev/install.sh | sh -s -- --deb

Requires root

Windows

$ powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -c "irm https://bentomux.takora.dev/install.ps1 | iex"

Windows install command — runs the PowerShell installer

$ curl.exe -fsSLo install.cmd https://bentomux.takora.dev/install.cmd && install.cmd && del install.cmd

Windows fallback for environments that block PowerShell from the internet

Homebrew

A cask is published to the project's tap and bumped with every release:

brew install --cask takora-dev/tap/bentomux

Platform support

Platform	Architectures	Formats
macOS	Apple Silicon and Intel	.dmg
Linux	x86_64 only	.AppImage, .deb
Windows	x86_64	.msi, -setup.exe

There is no Linux arm64 build yet. The installer tells you so rather than fetching the wrong artefact. The Linux installer drops the AppImage in ~/.local/bin and writes a desktop entry; the --deb form goes through apt and needs root.

Unsigned builds

Bentomux ships without code signing or notarisation, so your OS will stop and ask.

macOS — the first launch is blocked with damaged or can't be opened. Open System Settings → Privacy & Security and choose Open Anyway, or right-click the app and choose Open.
Windows — SmartScreen warns on the .msi. Choose More info → Run anyway.
Linux — AppImage needs the executable bit, which the installer sets for you.

The installer still verifies the SHA-256 of every download against the release manifest. That check is independent of signing, and it is what tells you the file is the one the project published.

Prefer to download it yourself?

Every build — .dmg, .AppImage, .deb, .msi, -setup.exe — is attached to the latest release.
