Asentum Operator is available for macOS (.dmg) and Windows (.exe). Download from the downloads page.
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.

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

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.
