Installers for Elide

Elide provides native installers for Windows and macOS on Apple Silicon. Every installer is published with a SHA-256 checksum file and a detached GPG signature (.asc) — see verification details below. The links here always point to the latest nightly build.

macOS

Elide runs natively on Apple Silicon (arm64); no translation layer is involved. A native Intel (amd64) macOS build is not currently published.

Windows

Verifying downloads

Every installer is published with two sidecar files: a SHA-256 checksum (<file>.sha256) and a detached GPG signature (<file>.asc). The checksum proves the download arrived intact; the signature proves it came from Elide.

Windows (using PowerShell):

# Download the installer and its checksum
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://elide.zip/artifacts/nightly/latest/elide-installer.windows-amd64.msi" -OutFile "elide-installer.windows-amd64.msi"
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://elide.zip/artifacts/nightly/latest/elide-installer.windows-amd64.msi.sha256" -OutFile "elide-installer.windows-amd64.msi.sha256"

# Verify the checksum
$expected = (Get-Content "elide-installer.windows-amd64.msi.sha256").Split(" ")[0]
$actual = (Get-FileHash "elide-installer.windows-amd64.msi" -Algorithm SHA256).Hash.ToLower()
if ($expected -eq $actual) { Write-Host "OK" } else { Write-Host "MISMATCH" }

Linux / macOS (using sha256sum or shasum):

# Linux
sha256sum -c elide-installer.macos-arm64.pkg.sha256

# macOS
shasum -a 256 -c elide-installer.macos-arm64.pkg.sha256

Both commands read the artifact name out of the checksum file, so keep the download under the name it was published with, in the same directory.

To check the signature, import Elide’s release key once and verify the .asc against the artifact:

# Import the Elide GPG key (Elide Releases <engineering@elide.dev>)
curl -fsSL https://keys.elide.dev/gpg.key | gpg --import

# Download and verify the signature
curl -LO https://elide.zip/artifacts/nightly/latest/elide-installer.windows-amd64.msi.asc
gpg --verify elide-installer.windows-amd64.msi.asc elide-installer.windows-amd64.msi

A successful run reports Good signature from "Elide Releases (Release key, Elide 1.0 and up) <engineering@elide.dev>". GPG also warns that the key is not certified by your own web of trust — that is expected until you sign the key yourself, and does not indicate a problem with the download.
