You can download one of the stable releases. There should be a compressed package for Linux (qilin-linux.zip), Windows (qilin-windows.zip) and macOS (qilin-macos.zip). Linux package should work on most Linux distributions.
Note: We use
nw.jsto build and run Qilin on desktop platforms. If you encounter any problems, please, check first that you platform is being supported bynw.jsbefore creating an issue.
You can build Qilin yourself to check the latest features (as the last stable release can be several commits behind the master branch). You will need the latest version of Node.js installed locally on your machine and follow instructions in README.md:
- Clone or download Qilin's repository (
$ git clone https://github.com/qilin-editor/qilin-app.git). - Move to the downloaded directory in your terminal (
$ cd qilin-app). - Download NPM dependencies (
$ npm i). - Once all dependencies are installed, build Qilin (
$ npm run build). - Once the build is finished, you can grab Qilin binaries from
build/folder.
Note: In some cases, you might need to run those scripts with administrator privileges (
sudo) in order to complete the build.
Note: We encourage you to use Bash or a similar Unix shell. Our build scripts could be incompatible with Windows. Therefore, you can help us to make it working everywhere.
