How to install Libiry

Windows

Option A

Download LibirySetup.exe from https://github.com/Sappelen/Libiry/releasesand run it

Tips:

  1. Windows may show a warning. Click ‘More info’ → ‘Run anyway’. This is normal for new software without a commercial certificate
  2. In Settings → Apps → Advanced app settings, set “Where to get apps” to “Anywhere” (or “Anywhere, but let me know if there’s a comparable app in the Store”)
  3. Right-click on LibirySetup.exe. Go to Properties. At the bottom of the General tab: check Unblock
  4. On corporate machines with strict policies, Windows may block the app completely. In that case, you can use Option B

Option B

  1. Download Python from python.org/downloads. During installation, check “Add Python to PATH”. If needed, the Troubleshooting section gives a more detailed instruction

  2. Download the latest Libiry zip file from https://github.com/Sappelen/Libiry/releases

  3. Right-click the ZIP → Extract All. The location doesn’t matter. The downloads folder is fine

  4. Open the extracted folder in the file explorer. Click the address bar at the top, type cmd, press Enter

  5. A command prompt has now opened in that folder. In the command prompt, type exactly: powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File install.ps1

  6. Press enter. The installation will take a couple of minutes

  7. A Libiry shortcut appears on your desktop

  8. You can now delete the ZIP folder that you downloaded

Linux

Option A

Download the Appimage from Githubs Releases page.

Open a terminal and navigate to the folder where you downloaded it (usually your Downloads folder):

cd ~/Downloads

Now, make it executable, replacing the filename below with the exact name of the file you downloaded: chmod +x Libiry-0.5.0-Linux-x86_64.AppImage

If the AppImage is called Libiry-0.5.0-Linux-x86_64.AppImage, for example, type

chmod +x Libiry-0.5.0-Linux-x86_64.AppImage

in your terminal.

Run it: double-click it or type

./Libiry-0.5.0-Linux-x86_64.AppImage

in your terminal

Option B

curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sappelen/Libiry/master/linux/install.sh  
chmod +x install.sh  
./install.sh
