Installation

Download the installer for your system from the Releases page.

System File
macOS .dmg (Apple Silicon: aarch64, Intel: x64)
Windows .exe installer
Linux .AppImage or .deb

Every push to main publishes a pre-release named v<version>-build.<number>. Tagged versions (v*) are normal releases.

macOS

The app is not signed with an Apple Developer ID, so macOS blocks a downloaded copy.

  • If it says "Scripture Pod is damaged and can't be opened", the app is fine. macOS has only tagged the download as quarantined. Drag it to Applications, run this once in Terminal, then open it again:

    xattr -cr "/Applications/Scripture Pod.app"
  • If you see an "unidentified developer" warning instead, right-click the app and choose Open.

Windows

The installer is not signed, so SmartScreen may show "Windows protected your PC". Choose More info, then Run anyway.

If the file came inside a zip and will not run, right-click it, open Properties, tick Unblock, and try again.

Linux

Nothing is blocked.

# AppImage
chmod +x Scripture*.AppImage && ./Scripture*.AppImage

# Debian / Ubuntu
sudo apt install ./Scripture*.deb

First launch

A setup dialog offers the bundled Bibles: English NKJV, Kannada BSI and Tamil BSI. They are imported once and stored on the computer. You can also choose Import Backup here to restore everything from another computer (see Backup and Restore).
