Release
This is the very first release. It still might have a glitch or two.
Installation Instructions
Option 1: Install via DMG (macOS)
- Download the .dmg file.
- Remove quarantine metadata (optional but recommended)
If you download the DMG from GitHub, macOS may flag it as potentially unsafe. To ensure no security warnings or blocks appear, remove the quarantine and other metadata with the following command:
xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /path/to/FreeBookDesigner-1.101.*.dmg
Explanation of metadata:
• com.apple.quarantine: Marks the file as downloaded from the internet and may block it from being executed.
3. Double-click the .dmg file to mount it.
4. Drag the FreeBookDesigner icon into the Applications folder.
5. Open Launchpad, locate FreeBookDesigner, and start the application.
Option 2: Install via MSI (Windows)
- Download the .msi file and double click it to install. (Version is a bit higher because it has been build later)
Option 3: Set Up the Project Locally
- Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/CrowdWare/FreeBookDesigner.git
cd FreeBookDesigner
- Open the project in your preferred IDE (recommended: IntelliJ IDEA).
- Build and run the project using Gradle.
./gradlew build
./gradlew run
- Enjoy the App
The app should now be running and ready for you to start designing your first pages!
