Installing Blober on Mac, Windows & Linux

Desktop App

Download

Download the latest version for your platform:

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

Windows Installation

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. When prompted, click "More info", then click "Run anyway" to proceed with the installation. This is only needed once.

🔒 Your PC stays secure. Clicking "Run anyway" only allows the Blober installer to run - it does not change your system security settings or make your computer vulnerable in any way.

macOS Installation

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

The app is code-signed and notarized by Apple, so it will open without any Gatekeeper warnings.

Linux Installation

Quick install (one command) - installs curl first if missing:

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 requires curl, which the quick install above installs if missing. If the installed version is already current, it does nothing.

Manual install:

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.
