Install via Desktop App

TL;DR

The Asentum Operator desktop app installs like any native OS app — .dmg on macOS, .exe on Windows, .AppImage on Linux. Double-click the installer, open the app, create a wallet, sync the chain. No terminal.

Download the installer

When public release lands, installers will live at asentum.com/download. The page auto-detects your OS and offers the right file:

• macOS — universal Asentum-Operator.dmg (Apple Silicon + Intel).
• Windows — Asentum-Operator-Setup.exe (x64).
• Linux — .AppImage or .deb (x64, arm64).

macOS install

1. Double-click the .dmg.
2. Drag Asentum Operator into the Applications folder.
3. Launch from Applications or Spotlight.

The build is signed with an Apple Developer certificate and notarized — Gatekeeper will not warn. For older unsigned builds, you may need to right-click → Open the first time.

Windows install

1. Double-click the .exe.
2. Follow the installer prompts.
3. Launch from the Start menu or desktop shortcut.

EV Authenticode signing is planned before mainnet. Until then, SmartScreen may warn on first launch — click More info → Run anyway.

Linux install

For the .AppImage:

For the Debian package:

First launch

On first launch, the app walks you through wallet creation and chain sync. The full sequence is documented in Desktop App (Asentum Operator).

Updates

The app self-updates from signed release artifacts. When a new version is available you'll see a banner in the app — one click to download, restart to apply. Your wallet, sync state, and stake persist across updates.

Uninstalling

• macOS — drag the app to Trash. User data in ~/Library/Application Support/Asentum.
• Windows — Settings → Apps → Asentum Operator → Uninstall. User data in %APPDATA%\Asentum.
• Linux — delete the AppImage, or sudo apt remove asentum-operator.

Heads up: removing user data deletes your wallet. Back up your recovery phrase first.
