Flatpak

There is no FerrumPix repository to add. To move to a newer version, download the file again and
install it the same way. Your software centre will list FerrumPix without an icon, because that
comes from a repository catalogue and there is none.
The AppImage carries built-in update information: tools that manage AppImages spot new
versions on their own and download only what changed.

Experimental
The ARM64 and macOS builds are untested. If you try one, please let me know whether it works.
The macOS builds are unsigned, so Gatekeeper may say the app is "damaged" or "can't be
opened". That does not mean the ZIP is broken. Please try this:
-
Download the right build: arm64 for Apple Silicon (M1, M2, M3, M4), x64 for Intel Macs.
-
Unzip it.
-
Move FerrumPix to Applications.
-
Open Terminal and run:
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/FerrumPix.app codesign --force --deep --sign - /Applications/FerrumPix.app -
Then start it with:
open /Applications/FerrumPix.app
macOS signing
The macOS packages are currently unsigned and should still be considered experimental.
Code signing and notarization require an Apple Developer account and come with an ongoing cost.
Since FerrumPix is currently a free, non-commercial project and does not generate any revenue,
signed macOS builds are not planned for the time being.
If the project receives sponsorship or other financial support in the future, official signing
and notarization may be added.
Good to know
The packages are self-contained and bring the .NET runtime with them, so nothing has to be
installed for that.
libmpv (video) and libraw (RAW development) are needed rather than optional. The Linux
packages ask for both, the Windows downloads bring them along. The Flatpak has LibRaw built
in but no libmpv, so it plays no video, and on macOS libraw comes from Homebrew with
"brew install libraw".
libheif is optional: it opens HEIC, HEIF and AVIF. Without it those files
simply stay closed and everything else works. macOS reads them itself.
