Distribution & updates

How users get Irodori Table and how it updates. Current public release: 0.6.0 (v0.6.0, published 2026-07-02).

Already in place

.github/workflows/release.yml — on a v* tag push, tauri-action builds installers for macOS, Windows (.msi/NSIS), and Linux (.deb/.rpm/.AppImage) on the matrix runners and creates a GitHub Release. The download channel is live today; publish a release tag such as v0.6.0.

Channel matrix

Channel	For	Status	Notes
GitHub Releases (installers)	end users	✅ exists	`release.yml`; cut by tagging the current release, e.g. `v0.6.0`
Tauri in-app updater	end users (auto-update)	⬜ next	the fastest update path for the GUI; needs a signing key
Terminal installer download	end users	✅ exists	use `gh release download` and install the `.deb`, `.rpm`, `.AppImage`, `.dmg`, or `.msi`
`cargo install --git`	Rust devs (headless server)	✅ exists	installs `irodori-server` from `irodori-kit`, not the desktop app
crates.io	Rust devs	⬜ later	crates.io forbids git/path deps; all `irodori-*` must be published first
Homebrew cask / Scoop / winget	mac/Windows	⬜ later	manifests auto-bumped from releases
AUR / Flatpak	Linux	⬜ later	from releases

Public registration text, support/privacy/disclaimer URLs, and package manager channel notes are collected in store-registration.md. Package-manager manifests are still a future packaging task; do not link to template paths until those files exist in irodori-table.

Quick terminal install

Use GitHub CLI to fetch the newest matching release asset without opening a browser. When no release tag is passed, gh release download uses the latest release:

tmp="$(mktemp -d)"
gh release download --repo hjosugi/irodori-table --pattern "*.deb" --dir "$tmp"
sudo apt install "$tmp"/*.deb

Replace the pattern and install command as needed:

Platform	Pattern	Install command
Debian/Ubuntu	`*.deb`	`sudo apt install "$tmp"/*.deb`
Fedora/RHEL	`*.rpm`	`sudo dnf install "$tmp"/*.rpm`
Linux portable	`*.AppImage`	`chmod +x "$tmp"/.AppImage && "$tmp"/.AppImage`
macOS	`*.dmg`	`open "$tmp"/*.dmg`
Windows PowerShell	`*.msi`	launch the downloaded `.msi`

The current v0.6.0 assets are:

Irodori.Table_0.6.0_amd64.deb
Irodori.Table-0.6.0-1.x86_64.rpm
Irodori.Table_0.6.0_amd64.AppImage
Irodori.Table_0.6.0_x64_en-US.msi
Irodori.Table_0.6.0_x64-setup.exe
Irodori.Table_0.6.0_aarch64.dmg
Irodori.Table_aarch64.app.tar.gz

On “cargo is fastest”

cargo install only installs Rust binaries. It is not a desktop app installer: the Tauri app bundles a webview, native packaging metadata, and a built frontend. Use GitHub Release installers for the desktop app.

For the headless local HTTP API, install irodori-server from irodori-kit:

cargo install --git https://github.com/hjosugi/irodori-kit --tag v0.5.0 --locked irodori-server

The old irodori-table repo command is no longer correct because irodori-server moved to irodori-kit.

Recommended order

Tag the current release → installers ship immediately (channel already built; for the current docs, that means v0.6.0).
Tauri updater for in-app auto-update (the real “get updates” for the GUI):
- cd apps/desktop && npm run tauri signer generate → keypair.
- Add the private key as the TAURI_SIGNING_PRIVATE_KEY GitHub Actions secret.
- In tauri.conf.json: set bundle.createUpdaterArtifacts = true and plugins.updater with the public key + an endpoints entry pointing at the releases latest.json (tauri-action emits it per release).
Keep desktop terminal installs installer-based — document gh release download paths for release assets; keep cargo install scoped to the irodori-kit headless server.
Package managers (brew/scoop/winget/AUR/Flatpak) once you want them — each is a small manifest auto-updated from the GitHub Release assets.
