Installation

Nexis ships native installers for every desktop platform. Pick your OS below, or jump to building from source.

Downloads

Every release is published on the GitHub releases page with builds for:

Platform	Formats
Linux	.deb, .rpm, AppImage, AUR package
macOS	.dmg (Apple Silicon & Intel)
Windows	NSIS installer, MSI

Nexis includes an auto-updater, so once installed it can keep itself current.

Platform guides

• Linux — packages, the AppImage, and the AUR.
• macOS — the .dmg and Gatekeeper notes.
• Windows & WSL — installers, SmartScreen, and WSL.

Building from source

Nexis is a Tauri 2 app. To build it yourself you’ll need:

• Rust (stable) — install via rustup.
• Node 22+ and pnpm 11+.
• Your platform’s Tauri prerequisites — see the Tauri prerequisites guide.

pnpm install
pnpm tauri dev        # dev build with hot reload
pnpm tauri build      # production build for your platform

Run the test suites with:

pnpm test                     # Vitest unit tests (front end)
cd src-tauri && cargo test    # Rust unit tests (backend)
