Installing the Software#

SpyDE ships as a self-contained desktop installer for Windows, macOS, and Linux. The installer is small; on first launch it sets up the Python analysis environment (including the GPU-correct PyTorch wheel) with uv. That first run needs a network connection and may take a few minutes — progress shows in the app’s log panel. Later launches are instant.

Notes#

  • macOS builds are signed + notarized, so they open without a Gatekeeper prompt. Unzip the download and drag SpyDE.app to Applications. (A .dmg is also attached to each release if you prefer that; the .zip is the simplest download and is the same signed app the auto-updater installs.)

  • Windows installers are currently unsigned — SmartScreen may warn on first run; choose More info → Run anyway. The NSIS installer is per-user (no admin).

  • Linux: chmod +x SpyDE-*.AppImage && ./SpyDE-*.AppImage.

  • The app auto-updates on its channel (release-candidate builds follow the beta channel; stable builds follow stable). Check via Help → Check for Updates….
