Install

This page describes how to install Cardinal on a variety of systems.
If you rather build Cardinal from source, please follow this document instead.

Official builds

Cardinal releases have official builds for Linux, macOS and Windows.
You can find these under https://github.com/DISTRHO/Cardinal/releases.

NOTE: at the time of writing, there are no official Cardinal releases yet.

Nightly builds

You can find builds for pretty much any recent Cardinal commit at https://github.com/DISTRHO/Cardinal/actions/workflows/build.yml
Just click on any successful build, and scroll to the bottom to find the builds.
(note the canvas-like area in the middle prevents mouse wheel scrolling)

A GitHub account is required in order to download these builds.

Unofficial builds

Alternatively you can find Cardinal packaged in a few software repositories.
These do always not come from Cardinal developers directly, but are still somewhat supported.
Patches are welcome for fixing system-specific bugs, as long as they do not break compatibility with everything else.

ArchLinux

FreeBSD

Available as FreeBSD port, simply run pkg install cardinal to install it.
