Installing Blober on Mac, Windows & Linux

Download the latest version for your platform:

• Windows Installer (.exe)
• macOS (.dmg)
• Linux AppImage

1. Download the .exe installer.
2. Run the installer.
3. Follow the installation wizard.
4. Launch Blober from the Start Menu.

Windows SmartScreen may block the installer. If it does, click More info, then Run anyway to continue the installation. You only need to do this once.

Clicking Run anyway lets only the Blober installer run. It does not change your system security settings or make your computer vulnerable.

Blober needs macOS 13 (Ventura) or later. On macOS 12 or earlier, macOS refuses to open it and says it requires macOS 13.0 or later.

1. Download the .dmg file.
2. Open the DMG and drag Blober to Applications.
3. Launch Blober from the Applications folder.

The app is code-signed and notarized by Apple, so it opens without a Gatekeeper warning.

This command installs curl first if it is missing, then runs the install script:

sudo apt install -y curl && curl -sSL https://blober.io/install.sh | sudo bash

To install a specific version:

curl -sSL https://blober.io/install.sh | sudo BLOBER_VERSION=0.8.17 bash

The script downloads the latest Blober build for your architecture, installs it system-wide to /opt/blober, and adds a blober command. It needs curl. If the installed version is already current, it does nothing.

1. Download the .AppImage file.
2. Make it executable: chmod +x blober_linux_*.AppImage
3. Run it: ./blober_linux_*.AppImage

Blober's AppImage includes a static runtime, so it does not require the system libfuse2 library. If it does not open, try ./blober_linux_*.AppImage --no-sandbox. To add Blober to your application menu, use AppImageLauncher.
