Installation

Open Cine Prod Tools is a desktop application. You install it by downloading the file for your system, then opening it. This page covers each platform.

Where to download

Every installer is on the project's GitHub Releases page. Each published release offers:

• the .deb package for Linux;
• the installer for Windows;
• the .dmg disk image for macOS.

Pick the latest release, then the file for your system.

Unsigned applications

The binaries are not digitally signed. This is not a sign of danger, but your system will show a warning on first launch. The sections below explain how to get past it on each platform.

Supported platforms

Platform	Status
Linux	Active development
Windows	Active development
macOS	Build available, unsigned and never tested
Android	Scaffolded (not usable yet)
iOS	Scaffolded (not usable yet)

Linux and Windows are the two platforms actually developed and used. Android and iOS are only scaffolded for now.

Linux

Download the .deb package, then install it from a terminal:

sudo apt install ./open-cine-prod-tools_<version>_amd64.deb

Replace <version> with the number of the file you downloaded. The application then appears in your applications menu.

Windows

Download the installer and run it. Because the application is unsigned, SmartScreen may show a blue "Windows protected your PC" screen on first launch:

1. click More info;
2. click Run anyway.

The warning does not appear again afterwards.

macOS

Build never tested on a Mac

The .dmg is produced automatically, but nobody has run the application on a Mac yet: the project has none. Treat this build as a trial, and feel free to report what works and what does not.

Open the downloaded .dmg, then drag Open Cine Prod Tools onto the Applications shortcut placed beside it.

Because the application is unsigned, Gatekeeper refuses to launch it directly. Two ways past it:

• right-click the application in Applications, choose Open, then Open again in the dialog that follows;
• or clear the quarantine flag once, from a terminal:

xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine "/Applications/Open Cine Prod Tools.app"

Next

Once the application is installed, move on to the first steps to create your first project.
