Install the fork build of T3 Code

This page is for the nullStack65/t3code fork. Official T3 Code installs and updates come from pingdotgg/t3code; see install.md for those.

Fork builds are published on the fork's GitHub Releases. Download the artifact for your platform and install it; nothing here needs Node, npm, or a compiler.

Windows x64

  1. Download T3-Code-<version>-x64.exe and run it. It installs per user and upgrades an existing T3 Code install in place.
  2. For the WSL backend, install WSL 2 and a distro, then pick it in Settings → Connections. The installer already contains the matching Linux runtime, so no separate download is needed.
  3. The fork also publishes t3-<version>-win32-x64.zip, a self-contained Windows CLI archive for t3 outside the desktop app.

Intel macOS

  1. Download T3-Code-<version>-x64.dmg and copy the app to Applications.
  2. The fork build is unsigned unless the maintainers signed it. If macOS refuses to open it, right-click the app and choose Open once.
  3. macOS has no fork t3 CLI archive; run the desktop app, or build the server from source.

Linux x64

Download the self-contained runtime archive and extract it, or install with the fork installer:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nullStack65/t3code/main/scripts/install.sh | sh

This puts t3 in ~/.local/bin. Set T3CODE_CHANNEL=nightly only if you know why; fork releases are plain stable versions. T3CODE_RELEASE_REPOSITORY and T3CODE_RELEASE_BASE_URL exist for mirrors.

Updating

Download the newer artifact and install it over the existing one. Your settings, sign-in, pairings, projects, and databases are preserved.

  • Fork releases do not enable automatic desktop updates yet; install the new Windows or macOS artifact by hand.
  • On Linux, t3 update and the installer download the newer fork archive.
  • Intel macOS updates by downloading the new DMG; in-app macOS updates are not supported for unsigned fork builds.

The fork publishes linux-x64 and win32-x64 CLI archives. Other platform/architecture combinations fail with a clear message instead of downloading a missing asset.

If you are coming from a build that had no update feed, this first release-managed install is the migration: install it once by hand, and later updates can follow the fork release channel.
