How to install

Windows 10

The Windows installation packages are named Openroast_1.2.0rc3_Win10_xxbit.zip below. Please download the appropriate ZIP file (most modern machines will run the 64-bit version, a 32-bit version is provided to run on older hardware), then open it by double-clicking on it once downloaded. There is a README file in the package you can consult, or take a look at the Windows install walkthrough.

Mac

To install the OS X version, a disk image file (DMG) is supplied for download below called Openroast.1.2.0rc3.Mac.OS.X.Installer.dmg. Please download that, double-click the DMG to mount it, and follow the instructions in the README file. Or take a look at the Mac install walkthrough.

Known Issues

• On Windows and Ubuntu systems, the roaster must be connected via USB before launching Openroast. This is because the auto_connect routine in the underlying driver fails establish a connection when hardware is detected post-launch. It is assumed to not be an issue on Mac machines at this time, because the problem does not manifest when tested on a Macbook Pro 2016 edition.
