Please note: Windows arm64 binaries are not tested / not supported and are provided "as-is".

For MacOS (both Apple Silicon and 64-bit Intel) binaries, check Mac Source Ports where they are regularly updated.

Windows x64 binaries require the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable: https://aka.ms/vc14/vc_redist.x64.exe

Linux AppImage requires at least glibc 2.31. Check with ldd --version if in doubt (any recent Linux distribution should easily satisfy this). FUSE must be enabled and available (see https://docs.appimage.org/user-guide/troubleshooting/fuse.html)
