Installation

Download and install Asset Tap on macOS, Windows, or Linux.

macOS

All macOS downloads are universal binaries that run natively on both Intel and Apple Silicon Macs.

DMG Installer (Recommended)

The DMG includes both the GUI application and the CLI tool.

1. Download AssetTap-macos.dmg
2. Open the DMG file
3. Drag AssetTap to your Applications folder
4. Launch from Applications or Spotlight

CLI Setup (Optional)

The CLI is bundled inside the app. To use it from the terminal, create a symlink:

sudo ln -sf "/Applications/Asset Tap.app/Contents/MacOS/asset-tap" /usr/local/bin/asset-tap

Verify it works:

asset-tap --help

CLI-Only Download (Alternative)

If you only need the CLI without the GUI:

curl -LO https://github.com/nightandwknd/asset-tap/releases/latest/download/asset-tap-cli-macos.tar.gz
tar -xzf asset-tap-cli-macos.tar.gz
sudo mv asset-tap /usr/local/bin/

Windows

NSIS Installer (Recommended)

1. Download the installer from Releases
2. Run the installer
3. Launch Asset Tap from the Start Menu

CLI-Only Download (Alternative)

Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://github.com/nightandwknd/asset-tap/releases/latest/download/asset-tap-cli-windows.zip -OutFile asset-tap-cli-windows.zip
Expand-Archive asset-tap-cli-windows.zip -DestinationPath .

Linux

Debian/Ubuntu (.deb)

The .deb package installs both the GUI and CLI.

curl -LO https://github.com/nightandwknd/asset-tap/releases/latest/download/asset-tap-linux-amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i asset-tap-linux-amd64.deb

After installation, both asset-tap-gui and asset-tap are available system-wide.

AppImage (Universal)

curl -LO https://github.com/nightandwknd/asset-tap/releases/latest/download/asset-tap-linux-x86_64.AppImage
chmod +x asset-tap-linux-x86_64.AppImage
./asset-tap-linux-x86_64.AppImage

tar -xzf asset-tap-cli-linux.tar.gz
