Installation

Installation

Section titled “Installation”

Installing WizQl depends upon your operating system and your distribution.

MacOS

Section titled “MacOS”
  • Download the dmg file from the download page.
  • Mount the image by double clicking it.
  • Install it by dragging it into your applications folder.

Windows

Section titled “Windows”

In windows there are two kinds of installers available .exe and .msi. Either one can be chosen depending upon your needs.

  • Download either the exe or the msi file from the download page.
  • Follow the instructions of the installer to install it.

Note: This software is unsigned and may trigger Windows Defender warnings. This is normal for independent software. Click ‘More info’ → ‘Run anyway’ if prompted. The software is safe but hasn’t been verified through Microsoft’s paid certificate program.

Linux

Section titled “Linux”

Installing on linux depends upon the flavour of your distribution. Currently we offer three versions of the installer, those being appimages, deb files and rpm packages.

Appimages

Section titled “Appimages”

  • Download the AppImage file from the download page.

  • Make the AppImage executable: You can do this using the command line by running chmod +x /path/to/wizql.appimage.

  • Alternatively, you can use the GUI by right-clicking on the AppImage file, selecting Properties, and checking “Allow executing file as a program”.

  • Run the AppImage: Once it is executable, you can run the AppImage by double-clicking it or by using the command line with ./wizql.appimage.

Deb (Ubuntu, Debian, or Linux Mint)

Section titled “Deb (Ubuntu, Debian, or Linux Mint)”

  • To install .deb files, you can use several methods. The simplest way is to download the .appimage file from the download page, double-click the .deb file, which will open it in the default software center or Gdebi Package Installer, allowing you to install the package. For a graphical approach, you can use the Ubuntu Software tool to install .deb.

  • If you prefer the command line, you can use the apt command, which automatically handles dependencies. For example, you can run sudo apt install ./wizql.deb to install the package.

  • Alternatively, you can use the dpkg command, but this requires manual handling of dependencies. For example, sudo dpkg -i wizql.deb installs the package, and if there are missing dependencies, you can resolve them by running sudo apt-get -f install.

Rpm (Fedora or Opensuse)

Section titled “Rpm (Fedora or Opensuse)”

  • To install RPM files on a Linux system, you can use several methods depending on your needs and the tools available. One common method is using the dnf package manager, which is the default package manager for Fedora and other Red Hat-based distributions. You can install an RPM file by running the command sudo dnf install wizql.rpm after downloading the .rpm file from the download page. This command will handle the installation and any necessary dependencies.

  • Another method involves using the rpm command directly. To install a package, you can use sudo rpm -ivh wizql.rpm, where -i is for installation, -v provides verbose output, and -h shows a progress bar. If you need to upgrade an existing package, you can use sudo rpm -Uvh wizql.rpm.
