I see a lot of posts for apps that I would like to try but they all send me to a Github link - What is the process for getting an executable of these apps? Do I have to compile them myself? OR am I missing the .exe or .zip file option?
I really feel like I’m missing something easy…
I’m quite familiar with GitHub now, but remember being new and it was super confusing finding how to actually get the thing. Often it was different per repo. Worse if you’re on mobile (e.g. to get an APK) and almost everything is hidden by default.
But yeah as others have said, first check the readme on the main page for instructions to make sure you’re doing it right, then if that doesn’t help check the releases page that’s linked on the right or on mobile scroll almost all the way to the bottom and look for the releases link in amongst the other stuff.
It may be a good idea to link to which repo you are looking at to get specific advice if what you’ve got so far isn’t helping.
