Install steps
Getting past the first launch.
Prebuilt desktop apps for macOS, Windows, and Linux are published on the Releases page for every v*.*.* tag from v1.13.1 onward — earlier tags are macOS-only.
| Platform | File | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| macOS (Apple Silicon) | Udaan_<version>_aarch64.dmg |
M1/M2/M3/M4 |
| macOS (Intel) | Udaan_<version>_x64.dmg |
Intel Macs |
| Windows | Udaan_<version>_x64-setup.exe |
NSIS installer |
| Linux | Udaan_<version>_amd64.AppImage or .deb |
AppImage is portable; .deb for Debian/Ubuntu |
The app is self-signed (not signed by a CA-trusted/registered publisher), so each OS will show a one-time warning before the first launch. This is expected — follow the steps below to open it.
macOS
- Open the downloaded
.dmgand drag Udaan into Applications - On first launch, Gatekeeper will say “Udaan cannot be verified” — right-click the app → Open → Open in the dialog
- If you instead see “The application is damaged and can’t be opened”, clear the quarantine flag:
This manual step is only needed once, on your first install (or if you’re updating from v1.10 or earlier) — from v1.11.0 onward, the app clears its own quarantine flag automatically after every in-app update.xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Udaan.app
Windows
- Run the
*-setup.exeinstaller - Windows SmartScreen will show “Windows protected your PC” — click More info, then Run anyway
- Follow the installer prompts
Linux
- AppImage (portable, no install):
chmod +x Udaan_*_amd64.AppImage ./Udaan_*_amd64.AppImage - .deb (Debian/Ubuntu):
sudo dpkg -i Udaan_*_amd64.deb
