Yenisei AgentGetting started

Installation

How to install the app on macOS, Windows, and Linux and launch it for the first time.

Supported systems

  • macOS 12 or later. There are separate builds for Apple Silicon (M1 and later) and for Intel.
  • Windows 10 or later, 64-bit.
  • Linux x86-64, AppImage file.

Download

Open the download page, the "Yenisei Agent" section, and choose your system. On a Mac, pick the build for your processor: open the Apple menu → "About This Mac". "Apple M…" means Apple Silicon; "Intel" means Intel.

The app is not yet signed with a developer certificate, so on first launch the system will warn that the program comes from an unknown source. How to proceed is described below.

Installing on macOS

  1. Open the downloaded .dmg image and drag Yenisei to the "Applications" folder.

  2. Launch Yenisei from "Applications". If macOS refuses to open the app, open "System Settings" → "Privacy & Security" and click "Open Anyway" next to the message about Yenisei.

  3. If macOS reports that the app is damaged, remove the download flag from the file. Open "Terminal" and run:

    Terminal
    xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Yenisei.app
    

Installing on Windows

  1. Run the downloaded Yenisei-…-setup.exe file.
  2. If the "Windows protected your PC" window appears, click "More info", then "Run anyway".
  3. Installation takes two to three minutes, up to six on some computers: the installer unpacks all of the app's files right away. Administrator rights are not needed: the program is installed only for your Windows user.
  4. After installation the app opens right away. If the installer did not download completely, the app will say so: "the installer files are damaged". In that case, download the installer again.

Installing on Linux

Make the downloaded file executable and run it:

Terminal
chmod +x Yenisei-*-x86_64.AppImage
./Yenisei-*-x86_64.AppImage

If the app does not start, see FAQ.
