Installation

Zui is an interactive desktop application for Windows, macOS, and Linux. To install, click the link at the Zui download page for your platform and double-click the downloaded package to launch the installer.

The notes and short videos below show how to successfully install on each platform.

Once installed, no additional configuration is necessary. For your reference, a separate article describes the filesystem paths where unpacked Zui binaries and saved user data are stored on each platform.

Zui checks over the network for newer releases that may be available for update.

If you run into any problems, you may want to browse the troubleshooting docs. If you get stuck, join our public Slack and we'll be happy to help.

Linux InstallationUninstall any currently-installed Zui release, using a tool like yum, dnf, or apt (saved data and settings will not be disturbed by uninstall, as these are stored under a user data path that's separate from the application binaries)Download either the Ubuntu/Debian (.deb) or Red Hat/Fedora (.rpm) installer at the Zui download page, as appropriate for your Linux distributionOpen the downloaded .deb or .rpm file in the Software Install utility and click InstallEnter administration credentials, if promptedClick the Zui icon in the applications menu to start the app now and in the futureZui checks over the network for newer releases that may be available for update

Updates

In a default configuration, each time Zui is launched it will check over the network for the availability of a newer release. If one is found, a notification like the following will pop up.

If Later is clicked, the notification is dismissed and no update is performed. If Install is clicked, the result on each platform is as follows:

PlatformResultWindowsAn interactive wizard for the newer release will launch, just like the one from initial installation.macOSThe newer release will install in the background and Zui will automatically relaunch into the newer version. See below for more details on macOS updates.LinuxThe Zui download page will open in your browser. Manual uninstall/reinstall is necessary on Linux, so repeat the same download/uninstall/reinstall steps as during initial installation.

In all cases, updating to a newer version of the app will preserve your existing user data. Because the way user data is stored can sometimes change in newer releases, downgrading to older releases is not currently supported.

Configurable Settings are available to change notification frequency.

SettingResultOn Startup (default)A check is performed for a newer release once each time Zui is launchedOn Startup & DailyA check is performed for a newer release when Zui is launched and every 24 hours thereafter that the app remains openManuallyZui will never pop up an automatic notification about a newer release

Regardless of settings, manually clicking the pull-down menu option Help > Check for Updates on Windows/Linux or Zui > Check for Updates on macOS will perform an immediate check and a notification will pop up if a newer release is detected.

macOS Details

In Zui release v1.7.0 and older, the only available .dmg installer was built for Intel-based Macs, though these could still run on newer Macs (based on Apple silicon) thanks to Rosetta. With Zui release v1.8.0 and newer, separate .dmg installers are now available for each Mac chipset.

If you've been running Zui release v1.7.0 or older on an Apple silicon Mac and click Install in an auto-update notification, the newer Zui release for Intel-based Macs will still be installed. If you want the benefit of improved performance by running a build for Apple silicon, you'll need to perform the following one-time steps to complete the transition.

Quit ZuiDownload the arm64 .dmg installer from the Zui download page and begin the installationWhen prompted, click to Replace the existing Zui application (your existing settings and data in pools will be maintained)

Once you've done this, as other Zui releases are published, auto-update will keep you on arm64 (Apple silicon) builds.
