Installation guide

Windows

1. 1

   Download Navin Setup (.exe) or the .msi package from the downloads page.

2. 2

   Double-click the downloaded file to start the installer.

3. 3

   Windows SmartScreen may show "Windows protected your PC" - click "More info", then "Run anyway".

4. 4

   Follow the installer, then launch Navin from the Start menu.

This warning appears because Navin is a new publisher still building reputation with Microsoft, not because of a threat - it fades away on its own as more people install the same signed build.

macOS

1. 1

   Download the .dmg from the downloads page.

2. 2

   Open it and drag Navin into the Applications folder.

3. 3

   On first launch, macOS may refuse to open it because "the developer cannot be verified".

4. 4

   Right-click (or Control-click) the Navin icon, choose "Open", then confirm - this is only needed once.

Alternatively: open System Settings > Privacy & Security, scroll to Security, then click "Open Anyway" next to the Navin message.

Linux

Using navin from a terminal

Run navin followed by a folder to open it in the editor, or navin . for the current folder. It works the same in PowerShell, cmd.exe, WSL, Linux and macOS terminals.

Verify your download (optional)

Every release publishes a SHA256SUMS.txt file next to the binaries. Compare it against your downloaded file before installing.
