Install the app
Download and install the Plexora desktop app for macOS, Windows or Linux.
The desktop app needs no Python and no terminal. Pick the installer for your computer. On a Linux system other than Debian or Ubuntu, a server or a cluster, install with pip instead. Intel Macs are not supported.
How to use it
Run the installer
macOS: open the .dmg and drag Plexora into Applications. Windows: run the .exe; it installs for your account only, so it needs no administrator rights (step by step, with screenshots). Linux: sudo apt install ./Plexora-<version>-linux-x64.deb.
Open Plexora the first time
The installers are not code-signed yet, so your system asks once before it opens the app. See First launch below.
Open an image
Plexora opens on its home screen. Continue with Your first image.
First launch
macOS says Plexora cannot be opened because Apple cannot check it. Open System Settings › Privacy & Security, scroll down and choose Open Anyway (on macOS 14 and earlier you can instead Control-click the app and choose Open). Or run once:
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Plexora.appTips
- The desktop app and a pip install on the same computer share their projects: a sample imported in one appears in the other.
- Help › Check for Updates… (in the Plexora menu on macOS) checks for a newer release.
