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.

Latest version: 2.4.1

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.

Linux

Flatpak bundle

A single .flatpak file that installs into your user account. No administrator password, no changes to the system.

File
bookartisan-v2.4.1.<build>.flatpak
Size
About 195 MB

Install

  1. Install Flatpak if your distribution does not have it yet.
  2. Download the .flatpak file.
  3. Install it, replacing the version with the file you downloaded:
    flatpak install --user -y ./bookartisan-*.flatpak
  4. 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.

Windows

Installer

A 64-bit installer that brings everything the app needs, Python and Qt included. No separate runtime to install first.

File
bookartisan-setup-2.4.1.<build>.exe
Size
150–250 MB

Install

  1. Download the installer and run it.
  2. Windows asks for administrator permission: the app installs under Program Files. Approve the prompt to continue.
  3. 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.
