Get Windows and macOS builds from GitHub Release. These are unsigned builds, so the OS shows a one-time warning on first launch, but you can get past it by following the steps below.

Windows

Download and run the installer (orchterm-setup.exe) or the MSI (orchterm-x64.msi). Both links always point to the latest build.

1. Download and run

   Download either one and double-click it.

2. Get past the SmartScreen warning

   Because it's unsigned, Windows may show an "Unknown publisher" warning. Click More info → Run anyway to proceed with the installation.

macOS

The easiest way is a single line in the terminal. install.sh downloads and installs the Apple Silicon build and even clears quarantine. Files fetched with curl don't get the quarantine attribute, so they avoid the "is damaged and can't be opened" warning from the start.

$ curl -fsSL https://github.com/zendy00/orch-term-pages/releases/latest/download/install.sh | sh

Install directly from the .dmg

You can also download the .dmg and install it directly.

Open the .dmg, move the app to /Applications, then strip the quarantine attribute once before the first launch.

$ xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/orchterm.app

install.sh will be available starting with the next release.

Unsigned-build notes

The current builds are not code-signed or notarized. The OS shows a warning once on first launch, but they work normally once you get past it as described above.
