Get prebuilt packages from the download page or from GitHub Releases. Every release ships SHA256SUMS files to verify your download.

Linux

Linux (x86_64) is the supported platform.

AppImage

Runs on any distribution without installing anything system-wide:

chmod +x WingDrive-*-x86_64.AppImage
./WingDrive-*-x86_64.AppImage

Debian, Ubuntu and derivatives

sudo apt install ./WingDrive-*-amd64.deb

Arch Linux and derivatives (AUR)

Two packages install the same release AppImage, and they conflict with each other:

wingdrive-bin follows stable releases only.
wingdrive-nightly follows every release, alpha, beta and rc included. A stable release updates it too, so it is never behind wingdrive-bin.

yay -S wingdrive-bin        # or: yay -S wingdrive-nightly

Without an AUR helper:

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/wingdrive-bin.git
cd wingdrive-bin
makepkg -si

Windows 10 and 11 (beta)

Download the NSIS installer (.exe) or the .msi for x64. The installers are not signed yet, so SmartScreen warns on first run: choose More info, then Run anyway. Check the file against SHA256SUMS-windows:

Get-FileHash .\WingDrive-*-x64-setup.exe -Algorithm SHA256

macOS

Prebuilt, signed builds are planned for milestone M3. Until then, build from source (below).

Headless server

Run the daemon with its web interface on a NAS, home server or VPS:

docker run -d --name wingdrive \
  -p 8080:8080 -p 7373:7373 \
  -v wingdrive-data:/data \
  -e WING_AUTH=admin:change-me \
  ghcr.io/bernardopg/wingdrive/server:latest

See Self-hosting for Compose, systemd and reverse proxy setups.

Build from source

You need the Rust toolchain pinned in rust-toolchain.toml (installed by rustup), Bun 1.3+, just and Python 3.9+ (for adapters).

git clone https://github.com/bernardopg/wingdrive
cd wingdrive

just setup        # native dependencies + cargo config
just dev-desktop  # desktop app; starts the daemon for you

Other useful recipes:

just dev-daemon   # daemon only, with ffmpeg and HEIF support
just dev-server   # headless server + web UI
just cli status   # run the wing CLI from source
just test         # run the workspace tests
