Installing
macOS
- Open the
.dmgand drag Libreta into Applications. - Open Libreta once. macOS will say it can't verify the developer — click Done.
- Go to System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll down and click Open Anyway, then confirm.
Only needed the first time. On macOS 14 and earlier, right-clicking the app and choosing Open works too.
If macOS instead says the app is damaged, that's the download quarantine flag, not a broken file. Open Terminal, paste xattr -cr /Applications/Libreta.app, press Return, then open Libreta normally.
Windows
- Run the setup
.exe. - If SmartScreen appears, click More info, then Run anyway.
- Follow the installer. Libreta appears in the Start menu.
Libreta uses the WebView2 runtime that ships with Windows 11 and updated Windows 10; the installer fetches it if it's missing.
Linux
- AppImage: make it executable (
chmod +x Libreta*.AppImage) and run it. - Debian / Ubuntu:
sudo apt install ./Libreta*.deb - Fedora:
sudo dnf install ./Libreta*.rpm
The .deb and .rpm pull in WebKitGTK 4.1 automatically; for the AppImage, install libwebkit2gtk-4.1 from your distribution if it doesn't start.
Why the warnings? Libreta is free and isn't signed with a paid Apple or Microsoft developer certificate, so both systems ask before running it the first time. Every installer here is built in public by GitHub Actions from the open source in the repository — you can read exactly what went into it.
