Installation Guide

rbara-gui bundles its pdfium runtime. ICC color conversion supports any .icc profile — see step 5 below.

1

Download for your platform

Select the binary above. All releases are built from the tagged commit via GitHub Actions — verify build provenance in the Actions log.

2

Windows — run the installer

Double-click the .exe. If Windows SmartScreen warns about an unknown publisher, click More info → Run anyway. Installs to %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\rbara\ with an Add/Remove Programs entry. No admin required.

3

macOS — open the .dmg

Mount the .dmg and drag rbara-gui to Applications. On first launch, right-click → Open to bypass Gatekeeper. The universal binary runs natively on both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs.

4

Linux — chmod and run

Mark the AppImage executable and launch it directly.

$chmod +x rbara-gui-*.AppImage
$./rbara-gui-*.AppImage

5

ICC color profiles — included

rbara-gui bundles Adobe ICC color profiles — 14 CMYK and 8 RGB profiles for professional color management. No separate download required. Color conversion between print and display color spaces works out of the box.

pdfium linking rustybara depends on pdfium-render, which requires a pdfium binary at runtime for rasterization. The pre-built rbara-gui and rbara installers bundle pdfium — library users must supply it separately. See pdfium-binaries →
