Install

ide99 is a native desktop app. No registration, no account, no Java or Electron runtime. One installer per OS.

System requirements

OS	Minimum	Installer
macOS	12 (Monterey) or newer	`.dmg` (Universal: Apple Silicon + Intel)
Windows	10 or newer, x64	`.msi`
Linux	glibc ≥ 2.28	`.deb`, `.rpm`, `.AppImage`

200 MB free RAM, 80 MB disk minimum.

macOS

Download ide99-x.y.z.dmg from the Download page.
Open the DMG, drag ide99.app into Applications.
Launch it. On first launch, Gatekeeper will show a confirmation — click Open.
(Optional) Verify the checksum:
```
shasum -a 256 ~/Downloads/ide99-x.y.z.dmg
```
Compare against the SHA-256 published next to the DMG link.

The binary is signed with Apple Developer ID and notarized by Apple. An "app cannot be opened" error usually means the DMG was corrupted in transit — re-download.

Windows

Download ide99-x.y.z.msi.
Double-click the MSI. If SmartScreen shows "Windows protected your PC" — click More info → Run anyway. The installer is Authenticode-signed; SmartScreen sometimes wants more reputation for new builds.
The installer will prompt for path and Start menu shortcut. Accept.
Launch ide99 from the Start menu.

Linux

Pick the format for your distro:

Debian / Ubuntu (.deb)

sudo dpkg -i ide99_x.y.z_amd64.deb
sudo apt-get install -f       # pulls deps if needed
ide99

Fedora / RHEL (.rpm)

sudo rpm -i ide99-x.y.z.x86_64.rpm
ide99

AppImage (any distro)

chmod +x ide99-x.y.z.AppImage
./ide99-x.y.z.AppImage

You can integrate AppImage into the system menu via AppImageLauncher — it'll create a desktop entry.

Updates

ide99 checks for new versions only if you enable it — in Settings → Updates. Auto-check is off by default. Details: App settings.

Uninstall

OS	How
macOS	Drag `ide99.app` to Trash. Profiles: `~/Library/Application Support/ide99/`.
Windows	Control Panel → Programs → ide99 → Uninstall. Profiles: `%APPDATA%\ide99\`.
Linux	`sudo apt remove ide99` / `sudo rpm -e ide99` / delete the AppImage. Profiles: `~/.config/ide99/`.

Uninstalling the app does not delete your connections and snippets — they remain in the profile folder. Delete it manually for a clean exit.

First run — what happens after the first launch.
