How to install the last nightly version

Follow these steps if you want to download and install the last nightly build of MeshLab:

1. Go to:

   • this link if the build has been generated from the main branch (last release with bugfixes);
   • this link if the build has been generated from the devel branch (nightly with new features that will be part of the next major release);

2. Click on "BuildMeshlab" in the left bar:

3. Click on the name of the first workflow in the table of the workflows (be sure that the branch name is the expected one):

4. In the bottom of the page, in the table of the artifacts, download the artifact named MeshLab_<OS>_<releasetype>[_double]: Artifacts with the _double suffix are built with double precision, the other ones are built in single precision; releasetype could be:

   • portable, if you want to try just the portable version of MeshLab;
   • packages, that will contain:
     • an AppImage when OS is Linux
     • a dmg when OS is macOS
     • an exe installer when OS is Windows

5. A zip archive will be downlaoded (note that you should be logged into github to start the download). Unzip the archive and you can now run the nightly build of MeshLab!
