Installation

System requirements, how to install on Windows, and where the app stores data.

Requirements

Machine running the application

OSRequirements
Windows10 or 11 (64-bit). WebView2 is built into Windows 11 and most updated Windows 10.

Only a Windows build is published right now — see macOS and Linux below. The app is built on Tauri, so the installer is lightweight and doesn’t bundle a separate Chromium.

Managed Servers

  • Linux with sshd.
  • Access via password or SSH key.
  • The monitoring part reads /proc and df, requires no extra installation, no root. A few items (auth logs, sudoers) will be empty if the account lacks permissions — everything else still works.

Windows

  1. Get the installer from Download — the .exe for a normal install, or the .msi if you’re pushing it out via GPO/Intune.
  2. Run it and follow the installer.
  3. The app appears in Start Menu as VM Ops Manager.

SmartScreen Warning

The installer is not yet code-signed, so Windows shows a blue “Windows protected your PC” screen. If you still want to install, click More info → Run anyway.

This is a publisher reputation warning, not malware detection. You should independently verify the SHA-256 checksum — both files’ checksums are published on the Download page, or compute it yourself:

Get-FileHash ".\VM Ops Manager_0.3.2_x64-setup.exe" -Algorithm SHA256

macOS and Linux

Not published yet. The codebase already targets both — the vault’s OS-keychain integration and the local-data-directory layout described below are already cross-platform — but installers aren’t built and signed for either yet. If you need one urgently, ask at hello@vmops.app.

Where Data Is Stored

Everything lives in one folder in the OS’s local application data directory — a SQLite database with projects, VMs, encrypted credentials, and monitoring history. There is no sync server and no online account, so backing up that folder is backing up the entire app state (the master password is still required to open it).
