Download

Current Hypercolor release downloads and installer entry points.

Hypercolor release artifacts are published on GitHub Releases. Use the release page for Windows installers, Linux tarballs and .deb packages, checksums, and release notes. Accepted macOS builds are attached manually after signing, notarization, and physical acceptance:

Open Hypercolor releases

The commands below install the latest tagged release. Not sure which path fits your setup? Choose your install routes you to the right one.

#Linux

The release installer downloads the matching tarball for your architecture and verifies its SHA256 checksum before installing:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hyperb1iss/hypercolor/main/scripts/install-release.sh | bash

Pin any tagged release with --version:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hyperb1iss/hypercolor/main/scripts/install-release.sh | bash -s -- --version v0.3.2

The installer sets up the systemd user service by default. USB and SMBus system hooks require sudo; the installer prompts before installing udev rules and persisting i2c-dev, or applies them automatically when run with --yes.

#Debian and Ubuntu (.deb)

Each release also ships a .deb package that installs the daemon, CLI, systemd user service, udev rules, and shell completions through your package manager:

sudo apt install ./hypercolor_<version>_amd64.deb

#Arch Linux (AUR)

The hypercolor-bin AUR package updates automatically on every tagged release:

yay -S hypercolor-bin

#Windows

Download the NSIS installer (Hypercolor_<version>_x64-setup.exe) from the release page. The installer is per-machine and asks for administrator elevation (UAC). The same elevated pass also runs hardware setup: it installs the bundled PawnIO SMBus modules and registers the HypercolorSmBus broker service, so motherboard and DRAM RGB work without a second prompt later.

Windows builds are currently unsigned, so SmartScreen may warn on first run. Choose “More info” and then “Run anyway” to continue.

#macOS

Public CI does not publish unsigned macOS packages. When a release includes an accepted macOS build, download the matching signed and notarized DMG for Apple Silicon or Intel from the release page. If a tag has no DMG, build from source instead of installing an unqualified package.

On Apple Silicon, install-release.sh also works for a daemon-and-CLI install. Homebrew carries both the hypercolor formula (CLI and daemon) and the hypercolor-app cask (desktop app), with tap updates performed manually after the matching signed artifacts pass acceptance. See Choose your install for the tradeoffs.
