Download

NetAssistant is available for Windows, Linux and macOS, with both x64 and ARM64 builds for each platform. The download links below always point to the files of the latest release — click to download directly. Older versions can be found on GitHub Releases.

Windows

Recommended: install with winget (supports automatic upgrades)

winget install SunJary.NetAssistant

To upgrade:

winget upgrade SunJary.NetAssistant

Or use the installer: download netassistant-windows-x86_64-setup.exe and follow the wizard (creates Start Menu and desktop shortcuts automatically).

Alternative: download netassistant-windows-x86_64.zip, extract it and run netassistant.exe.

ARM64 devices (Surface Pro X, Snapdragon laptops, etc.): winget and the installer currently ship x64 only. On ARM64, download netassistant-windows-aarch64.zip, extract it and run netassistant.exe. This build is produced automatically and has not been fully tested on real hardware.

Linux

Recommended: deb package (Debian/Ubuntu and derivatives, installs dependencies automatically)

1. Download netassistant-linux-x86_64.deb
2. Install (dependencies resolved automatically):

sudo apt install ./netassistant-linux-x86_64.deb

3. Launch from the application menu, or run netassistant in a terminal

AppImage (portable, for Fedora/Arch and other distros)

1. Download netassistant-linux-x86_64.AppImage
2. Add execute permission and run:

chmod +x netassistant-linux-x86_64.AppImage
./netassistant-linux-x86_64.AppImage

Alternative: tar.gz (lightweight)

1. Download netassistant-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
2. Extract and run:

tar -xzf netassistant-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
chmod +x netassistant
./netassistant

ARM64 devices (Raspberry Pi 5, ARM servers, etc.): download netassistant-linux-aarch64.deb, netassistant-linux-aarch64.AppImage or netassistant-linux-aarch64.tar.gz, usage is the same as above. This build is produced automatically and has not been fully tested on real hardware.

macOS

Recommended: universal DMG (works on both Intel and Apple Silicon)

1. Download netassistant-macos-universal.dmg, open it and drag NetAssistant into the Applications folder
2. If macOS warns "cannot verify the developer" on first launch (normal for unsigned, non-notarized apps — not corruption): right-click NetAssistant → Open; or go to System Settings → Privacy & Security and click "Open Anyway"

Alternative: download netassistant-macos-universal.zip and extract it to run directly (executable permissions are preserved).

Troubleshooting Dependency Errors

Most desktop systems already ship the required dependencies and run out of the box. On Linux, only install these if startup fails with an error:

• AppImage fails with a FUSE error (e.g. AppImages require FUSE to run):

sudo apt install libfuse2

• Bare binary / tar.gz fails with a missing GTK3 library (e.g. error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-3.so.0):

sudo apt install libgtk-3-0
