Installing Laigter

Laigter is available for Linux, Windows, and MacOS. Mac version is experimental though, so expect some bugs!

Installing on Windows

The only way currently to get an installer for Windows, is through itch.io .

You can get the binaries directly from the project page. There you can choose to download an installer, or a portable version if you prefer so. The installation process is simple: just run the installer and follow the steps as with most software out there. With the portable version, you just need to extract the zip to a folder of your preference, and run the binary from there.

You can also install Laigter using the itch.io desktop App. Just open the app, and use the search bar to find Laigter, then hit install on the lower right corner.

Note: due to Laigter being a free and open-source tool with zero budget, it is not registered on Windows, so it may raise some alerts on the system. Please trust me, it is totally safe to run Laigter.

Installing on Linux

For Linux you have two options: AppImage or Flatpak. The appimage is a self contained executable, with all the needed libraries to run on most linux systems. You can get it from the project page, or from Github releases page. In that last page, you can even get the continuous build to test the latest changes on the development branch!

For running it, you just need to give corresponding permissions and double click on it. If you install appimaged it can be even integrated with your desktop environment!

If you prefer to use flatpak instead, you can open your command line, and run:

flatpak install flathub io.itch.azagaya.Laigter

You can get more information about this way to install on Flathub. After the install, the app should be integrated into your desktop environment.

Thanks a lot to Calinou for this!

Running on Mac

Laigter is provided as a zipped app in the project page. Just download it and run it as your other apps. If you’re not allowed to double click the app to run it, remember to right click on it and click “open”. This only needs to done once, then osx will assume it as a safe application and let you run it by double clicking.
