Features

Installation

Developed with Linux in mind. You can also find Windows and macOS installation instructions below.

Recommended:

Supported CPU architectures:


Other installation methods (not recommended):

Windows (Stable)

You can find stable windows packages attached on the release page.

Windows (Nightly)

These windows builds are automatically built and deployed once a new commit has been pushed. They may contain bugs but are always cutting-edge.

You can download one of these builds from my server.

If the server is down, you can also get one from the GitHub artifact storage:

  1. Visit the actions section
  2. Select the latest job at the top that finished successfully
  3. On the next page, scroll all the way down to the artifacts section
  4. Select your architecture and choose whether you want an installer or standalone executable.

NOTE: You need a GitHub account to download these build artifacts, otherwise you'll get redirected to a 404 page.

Debian/Ubuntu (PPA)

Recommended system requirements:

Add PPA Repo

sudo apt install -y curl
curl -s --compressed "https://thepbone.github.io/PPA-Repository/KEY.gpg" | sudo apt-key add -
sudo curl -s --compressed -o /etc/apt/sources.list.d/thepbone_ppa.list "https://thepbone.github.io/PPA-Repository/thepbone_ppa.list"
sudo apt update

Install from PPA

sudo apt install ddctoolbox

View PPA on GitHub

Arch (AUR)

A git package is available in the AUR.

yay -S ddctoolbox-git

AUR version

Snap package (Universal Linux)

Linux users can download a stable release of this app from the Snap Store. If snap is not yet installed on your system, you need to install it before you can continue: https://snapcraft.io/docs/installing-snapd. (All Ubuntu flavors, KDE Neon, Manjaro and Zorin OS have this utility already pre-installed)

Supported CPU architectures: x86_64, arm64, armhf, ppc64el, and s390x.

Once snap is properly installed, you can install ddctoolbox:

sudo snap install ddctoolbox

You can launch ddctoolbox by executing ddctoolbox in a terminal, or by selecting the application shortcut in your drop-down menu bar.

Note: If you installed snap for the first time, it may be necessary to relogin in order to make the application shortcut in your menu bar visible.

Android

There is an Android version of DDCToolbox with limited functionality available here: ThePBone/DDCToolbox-Android

macOS (Intel)

macOS support is currently in beta; only cloud-compiled nightly binaries are available. The next stable release will include stable versions of OSX binaries. OSX 10.13 (High Sierra) or later Intel macOS devices only. If your device is older or an ARM-based device, try to compile it from sources yourself.

You can download one of nightly beta builds from my server.

Debian (Nightly)

Qt 5.11 or later required. Debian 10 (or later releases) provide this version of Qt in their official repositories.

Since these nightly (beta) packages are not downloaded by your package manager, you will not be notified about any updates. If possible, please install this app from the stable PPA instead!

You can download one of these nightly debian packages or precompiled binaries from my server. They are automatically compiled and may contain bugs. Dependencies are not included with precompiled standalone executables.
