Release app installation

You can find the latest app builds on the releases page. Currently supported architectures:

• Windows - DrewLocalhost-1.2.8.Setup.exe
• MacOS Intel - Drew.Localhost.x64.dmg
• MacOS M-processors (arm)

  • Best option is to still download Drew.Localhost.x64.dmg executable since it can be run the same as any non-app-store app, see here

  • If you download Drew.Localhost.arm64.dmg executable - you need to follow the instructions described here, in short - copy Drew Localhost app normally to Applications folder and run this command in terminal:

xattr -c /Applications/DrewLocalhost.app

Currently we are working on proper DMG signing on MacOS (and possibly - distribution through App Store), in the mean time follow the instructions above, or build the app yourself
