## Which release file should I download?

Go to the [Releases page](https://github.com/emmaglorypraise/ObsidianLog/releases)
and make sure you're on the **latest** release (it's labeled "Latest" at
the top of the list). Older releases stay listed below it, so it's easy to
end up on the wrong one if you land on this page from a search engine or an
old link.

Once you're on the right release, scroll down to the **Assets** section.
That's where the actual downloadable files are. Everything above it on the
page is just the changelog for that release, not something you need to
read to install it.

Under Assets, pick the file matching your system:

| Your system                                          | File to download                                          |
| ---------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------- |
| macOS, Apple Silicon (M1 or newer)                   | `obsidianlog-<version>-aarch64-apple-darwin.tar.gz`       |
| macOS, Intel                                         | `obsidianlog-<version>-x86_64-apple-darwin.tar.gz`        |
| Windows                                              | `obsidianlog-<version>-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc.zip`        |
| Linux, most machines (x86\_64)                       | `obsidianlog-<version>-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz`  |
| Linux, ARM (Raspberry Pi, AWS Graviton, and similar) | `obsidianlog-<version>-aarch64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz` |

`<version>` is the release number, for example `v0.2.0`.

## How do I check my machine's architecture?

On Linux, open a terminal and run:

```sh theme={null}
uname -m
```

`x86_64` means choose the x86\_64 Linux archive. `aarch64` or `arm64` means
choose the aarch64 Linux archive. The current Windows release is for x86\_64
Windows only. Windows on ARM is not distributed yet.

<Note>
  Not sure which Mac you have? Click the Apple menu → **About This Mac**.
  If it says "Chip: Apple M1/M2/M3/M4..." you're Apple Silicon. If it says
  "Processor: Intel...", you're Intel.
</Note>

Each archive contains two binaries directly: `obsidianlog` (the CLI) and
`obsidianlog-ingest` (the standalone ingest server). There's no installer
and no dependencies to install separately. See
[Installing a release binary](/get-started/quickstart#installing-a-release-binary)
for what to do once you've downloaded the right file.
