Installation

System requirements, how to install on Windows/macOS/Linux, 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.
macOS12 Monterey or later.
LinuxDistribution with webkit2gtk 4.1 (Ubuntu 22.04+, Fedora 36+, …).

The app is built on Tauri so the installer is lightweight and does not 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. Download the .msi file from Download.
  2. Run it and follow the installer.
  3. The app appears in Start Menu as VM Ops Manager.

SmartScreen Warning

During early testing, 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 published with the release:

Get-FileHash .\VM-Ops-Manager_0.1.0_x64.msi -Algorithm SHA256

macOS and Linux

Open the .dmg file on macOS and drag the app into Applications. On first launch, if macOS reports the app as unverified: right-click the app → Open → Open, or allow it under System Settings → Privacy & Security.

On Linux, chmod +x the AppImage before running it, or install the .deb package with dpkg -i depending on which build you downloaded.

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).
