If you encounter a Windows SmartScreen warning, it’s because I haven't purchased a Microsoft code-signing certificate yet. The app is safe to use, as the source code is available for review, and you can also scan it with VirusTotal.To install:
- Click "More info."
- Click "Run anyway."
Here's an example of the SmartScreen prompt:
-
Linux: Download the
.AppImageor.debfile from releases and install it. -
macOS: Download the
.dmgfile from releases, then drag Tau to your Applications folder.
