### Pre-built Binaries (Recommended for Quick Start)
The easiest way to get started is to download a pre-built, self-contained binary from the [**GitHub Releases page**](https://github.com/viu-media/viu/releases/latest). These binaries include all dependencies and **do not require Python** to be installed.
The easiest way to get started is to download a pre-built, self-contained binary from the [**releases page**](https://github.com/viu-media/viu/releases/latest). These binaries include all dependencies and **do not require Python** to be installed.
**Available for:**
* **Linux** (x86_64)
* **Windows** (x86_64)
* **macOS** (Intel x86_64 and Apple Silicon ARM64)
* **Linux** (x86_64): `viu-linux-x86_64`
* **Windows** (x86_64): `viu-windows-x86_64.exe`
* **macOS** (Intel x86_64): `viu-macos-x86_64`
* **macOS** (Apple Silicon ARM64): `viu-macos-arm64`
**Installation Steps:**
1. Download the appropriate binary for your platform from the [releases page](https://github.com/viu-media/viu/releases/latest).
2. Make it executable (Linux/macOS):
2. **Linux/macOS:** Make it executable and move to PATH:
```bash
# Replace with the actual binary name you downloaded
chmod +x viu-linux-x86_64 # For Linux
chmod +x viu-macos-x86_64 # For macOS Intel
chmod +x viu-macos-arm64 # For macOS Apple Silicon
```
3. Move it to a directory in your `PATH` (optional but recommended):
```bash
# Linux/macOS (replace with your binary name)
# Example for Linux (adjust binary name for your platform)
chmod +x viu-linux-x86_64
sudo mv viu-linux-x86_64 /usr/local/bin/viu
# Or to a user directory
mkdir -p ~/.local/bin
chmod +x viu-linux-x86_64
mv viu-linux-x86_64 ~/.local/bin/viu
# Make sure ~/.local/bin is in your PATH
```
4. Run Viu:
**Windows:** Simply rename `viu-windows-x86_64.exe` to `viu.exe` and place it in a directory in your PATH, or run it directly.
3. Verify the installation:
```bash
viu --version
```
