Download
Aether is available for Mac OS, Windows and Linux. Our community supports Windows, Mac OS and Linux versions at meta.geteather.net.
Compiling
Aether is a relatively large app with an Electron and Go toolchain, at 100,000+ lines of code. Getting it to compile requires setting up a correct build runtime with the latest versions of Go, Node (for Electron) and C dependencies and development environments. Expect the initial set-up to take a few hours. Be patient! 🙂
Instructions
Compile instructions can be found here on this gist, and at getaether.net/docs/developers.
Filing a bug
