Installation Instructions
How to install Arctype on Mac, Windows, and Linux. And how to sign-in to the web console.
You may see a scary message in a blue box after installing Arctype on Windows. This message comes from Microsoft SmartScreen and simply means that not enough people have downloaded Arctype yet. You can help fix this by downloading it yourself right now!
To advance past this screen you must click More info and then Run anyway on the blue screen.
On Linux platforms such as Ubuntu and Fedora, Arctype is distributed as an AppImage. This provides a number of benefits, including easy updates with improvements and bug fixes. However, AppImage files are distributed without the execute bit set. This means you must run
chmod +x Arctype.AppImage after you install it.Or, you must right click on the on the file, select Properties then Permissions then check the box for Allow executing file as program. Then you can double click on the icon to run Arctype!
On MacOS you will see a message saying This application has been downloaded from the internet - are you sure you want to open it? when you try to run Arctype. You must right click on the application and select 'Open' to run it. You only have to do this once.
You can login to the arctype web console at https://arctype.com/login. Note that certain features, such as localhost databases, SSH and SSL keys, and no-account sign-in will not work on the web.
