Installation

Download

CutReady provides pre-built installers for all major platforms. Download the latest release from GitHub Releases.

Windows

Download the .msi or .exe (NSIS) installer from the release page.

1. Run the installer
2. Follow the setup wizard
3. Launch CutReady from the Start Menu

Note

Windows builds are not yet code-signed. You may see a SmartScreen warning — click “More info” → “Run anyway” to proceed.

macOS

Download the .dmg file for your architecture:

• Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3): CutReady_x.x.x_aarch64.dmg
• Intel: CutReady_x.x.x_x64.dmg

1. Open the .dmg file
2. Drag CutReady to your Applications folder
3. On first launch, right-click → Open to bypass Gatekeeper

Note

macOS builds are not yet notarized. You’ll need to explicitly allow the app in System Settings → Privacy & Security after the first launch attempt.

Linux

Download the .deb package or .AppImage:

Debian/Ubuntu (.deb):

sudo dpkg -i cutready_x.x.x_amd64.deb

AppImage:

chmod +x CutReady_x.x.x_amd64.AppImage
./CutReady_x.x.x_amd64.AppImage

Tip

The Linux build requires PipeWire and GBM libraries for screen capture. On Ubuntu 24.04+, these are typically pre-installed.
