Download Book Artisan
One file per platform, and the same file for Basic and Pro: Pro is unlocked inside the app with a licence key, so there is no second download.
The trial key arrives by e-mail: no account and no card. When it ends, the app goes back to Basic mode and the books you generated stay yours.
Flatpak bundle
A single .flatpak file that installs into your user account. No administrator password, no changes to the system.
Install
- Install Flatpak if your distribution does not have it yet.
- Download the
.flatpakfile. -
Install it, replacing the version with the file you downloaded:
flatpak install --user -y ./bookartisan-*.flatpak - Open Book Artisan from the application menu, or run:
flatpak run app.bookartisan.BookArtisan
The first install downloads the GNOME runtime the app uses, so it needs a connection once. After that the app itself works offline.
Installer
A 64-bit installer that brings everything the app needs, Python and Qt included. No separate runtime to install first.
Install
- Download the installer and run it.
- Windows asks for administrator permission: the app installs under
Program Files. Approve the prompt to continue. - Open Book Artisan from the Start menu, or from the desktop shortcut if you asked for one.
Windows may warn you the first time. The installer is not code-signed yet, so SmartScreen shows a warning. To continue, choose More info and then Run anyway. If you would rather not, wait for the Microsoft Store listing: the Store-signed build does not warn.
These download links point at the releases page. It lists every version with its checksums, so you can verify a file before running it. Later on, this page will link the current version's file directly.
Updating
Neither download updates itself today: download the new version and install it over the old one. Your projects and settings are kept.
Linux
flatpak install --user -y ./bookartisan-*.flatpak
The new bundle replaces the installed version.
Windows
Run the new installer over the installed copy. Your projects and settings are not touched.

Checksums
Each release publishes the SHA-256 of every file. Verify it before installing if you want to be sure the download arrived intact.
