Installation

Wyrm is a native macOS app. It’s one universal build for Apple Silicon and Intel Macs, and Jujutsu (jj) is built in, so you don’t need to install jj or anything else. Git repositories you already have work as they are.

Linux and Windows builds aren’t available yet; the download page shows their status.

Get the latest release from the download page. The file is called Wyrm_<version>_universal.dmg.

To check the download, compare its checksum with the line for the DMG in SHA256SUMS.txt on the download page:

Terminal window
shasum -a 256 ~/Downloads/Wyrm_<version>_universal.dmg

Open the DMG and drag Wyrm onto the Applications folder next to it. Then eject the disk image.

Start Wyrm from Applications, not from inside the disk image: a copy running from the DMG can’t install updates.

Open Wyrm from Applications, Launchpad or Spotlight (search for “Wyrm”). Because it was downloaded from the Internet, macOS asks once whether you want to open it. Click Open.

Wyrm is signed with an Apple Developer ID and notarized by Apple, so Gatekeeper recognises it. If macOS refuses to open it, see Troubleshooting.

Wyrm asks you to sign in with a free wyrmflow.com account before it opens any repository. Use an email code, or GitHub, Google, GitLab or Apple. Signing in shows each step.

You’re ready. The Quick Start walks you from opening your first repository to pushing a change.

Wyrm checks for updates by itself; you decide when to download one and restart. See Updates.
