ebb

Installation

Download and run ebb on macOS, Windows, or Linux - or build from source.

Prebuilt binaries and packages

The download page has links to the latest build for all platforms. This is the faster way to get ebb. Older versions and more formats are on the GitHub releases page.

macOS

Download the universal .dmg, this runs on both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs.

Open the .dmg and drag ebb to Applications.

ebb is unsigned, so you need to authorize it the first time you start it.

  • If you see "Can't be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software", go to System Settings > Privacy & Security, scroll down, and click Open Anyway.
  • If you see "ebb.app is damaged and can't be opened...", macOS Gatekeeper quarantined the download. The app is not damaged. Run the following command in Terminal.app (or any terminal), then run the app again
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/ebb.app

For a standalone build, download the universal .app.tar.gz.

Windows

Download the setup.exe installer and then run the installer.

The first time that you start ebb, you will see "Windows protected your PC". Click More info, then Run anyway.

Linux

Download the .AppImage. Make the file executable, then run it:

chmod +x ebb_*.AppImage
./ebb_*.AppImage

Compiling from source

Node.js and npm are necessary to build ebb.

Clone the repository and install dependencies:

git clone https://github.com/shreerammodi/ebb
