Installation

macOS

Grab insta-dl-gui_x.y.z_universal.dmg from releases — it runs natively on both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs.

Or install via Homebrew for automatic updates on brew upgrade:

brew install --cask subzeroid/tap/insta-dl-gui

Note: the app is not yet signed with an Apple Developer ID or notarized, so Gatekeeper will ask for confirmation on first launch no matter how you installed it ("Open Anyway" or right-click → Open). See Troubleshooting → macOS blocks the app.

Windows

Download insta-dl-gui_x.y.z_x64-setup.exe from releases.

SmartScreen may warn about unsigned binaries — click More info → Run anyway. Code signing is planned; until then the warning is expected for every new release.

Linux

Download from releases:

  • .AppImage — chmod +x and run, no installation
  • .deb — sudo dpkg -i insta-dl-gui_*.deb
  • .rpm — sudo rpm -i insta-dl-gui_*.rpm

Build from source

Requires Node 22+ and a Rust toolchain.
