Viu runs on Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android (via Termux). Pre-built binaries are available for quick installation without Python, or you can install via Python 3.10+ package managers.
### Prerequisites
@@ -64,6 +64,39 @@ For the best experience, please install these external tools:
* [**ffmpeg**](https://www.ffmpeg.org/) - Required for downloading HLS streams and merging subtitles.
* [**webtorrent-cli**](https://github.com/webtorrent/webtorrent-cli) - For streaming torrents directly.
### Pre-built Binaries (Recommended for Quick Start)
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): `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. **Linux/macOS:** Make it executable:
```bash
# Replace with the actual binary name you downloaded
chmod +x viu-linux-x86_64
```
Then move it to a directory in your PATH:
```bash
# Option 1: System-wide installation (requires sudo)
sudo mv viu-linux-x86_64 /usr/local/bin/viu
# Option 2: User directory installation
mkdir -p ~/.local/bin
mv viu-linux-x86_64 ~/.local/bin/viu
# Make sure ~/.local/bin is in your PATH
```
**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
```
### Recommended Installation (uv)
The best way to install Viu is with [**uv**](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv), a lightning-fast Python package manager.
