DOWNLOADS
Get PlantStacks
One download, one machine, ten minutes. Every download below is checksummed — verify before you run, especially on a production machine.
Windows (x64) — portable
Self-contained: no Node.js, no installer wizard, no admin rights needed. Unzip and run PlantStacks.exe, then open https://localhost:8443/.
SmartScreen note: the build is not yet code-signed, so Windows may show an "unknown publisher" notice. Verify the SHA-256 below matches, then choose More info → Run anyway. The checksum is your proof the file is exactly what we published.
Linux — source bundle
For any distro with systemd and Node.js ≥ 18. Unpack, run ./install.sh (installs and starts a systemd service), open port 8443.
Native .deb/.rpm packages and a one-container Docker image are documented in the install guide.
Verify your download
Windows (PowerShell): Get-FileHash .\PlantStacks-1.0.2-win-x64-portable.zip -Algorithm SHA256
Linux/macOS: sha256sum PlantStacks-1.0.2-win-x64-portable.zip
Expected SHA-256 for v1.0.2 (Windows portable .zip):
5a53794968d2e24140da7c47e4ef02ce3a5f4c90cb860dd1b41cb56bea2b1664
The full list is always at SHA256SUMS. A match means the file is byte-for-byte what we published. Product updates go further: they are Ed25519-signed and the software refuses to apply an unsigned package.
