RapidRAW, as a cross-platform application, has essentially the same installation process on Windows, macOS and Linux, but certain operating systems have special handling requirements:
Basic installation steps:
- Clone the codebase from GitHub: git clone https://github.com/CyberTimon/RapidRAW.git
- Go to the project directory: cd RapidRAW
- Install front-end dependencies: npm install
- Build and run development mode: npx tauri dev -release (the -release parameter speeds up image loading)
Operating System Special Requirements:
- macOS users: Remove the quarantine flag of the app to avoid the "file corruption" prompt with the command: xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/RapidRAW.app
- Windows users: Download the pre-compiled .exe installer directly from the GitHub release page.
- Linux users: may need to install additional development dependencies
For those who do not want to build from source, the GitHub release page provides pre-compiled installers for each platform. Once the installation is complete, it is recommended to update the GPU drivers for optimal performance.
