Install Volum Desktop

Download the current release from GitHub Releases. Volum does not require an account or activation key.

macOS

1. Download the universal .dmg.
2. Open the disk image.
3. Drag Volum into Applications.
4. Open Volum from Applications.

The macOS release is signed and notarized and supports both Apple silicon and Intel Macs.

2. Choose the ARM64 installer for native Windows on Arm devices.
3. Run the .exe installer.
4. Start Volum from the Start menu.

SmartScreen

Windows installers are not yet Authenticode-signed. Microsoft Defender SmartScreen may ask you to confirm that you want to run the installer. Release checksum and Tauri updater signature files are published alongside the installer.

Linux

1. Download the x86_64 AppImage.
2. Make it executable.
3. Run it from your file manager or terminal.

chmod +x Volum_linux_x86_64.AppImage
./Volum_linux_x86_64.AppImage

An Arch Linux package is also prepared. Check the release notes for its current availability.

Updates

Volum checks for signed Desktop updates. You decide when to download and install them. You can also install a newer release manually over the existing application; your database remains in the platform app-data directory.

Before a major upgrade, keep a current Volum backup and a separate backup of your original model folders.

Next step

Open Volum and create your first library.
