Installation

Windows

On Windows, application will be installed into the %LocalAppData%\OrmFactory\ folder. Currently installer does not support Program Files folder, but may support in future.

OrmFactory stores settings in the %appdata%\OrmFactory\ folder. Usually it looks like C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\OrmFactory

MacOS

Installer allows the user to choose whether to install to /Applications or ~/Applications. During updates, packages are downloaded to /tmp, and during apply step the .app bundle will be extracted and replaced. If app is installed to /Applications, elevation may be required.

Linux

OrmFactory for Linux is distributed as an AppImage. An AppImage is a single file containing an embedded squashfs filesystem. When the AppImage runs, that filesystem is mounted using libfuse, so it must be installed before attempting to run an AppImage. On Ubuntu that can be done with the following

sudo add-apt-repository universe
sudo apt install libfuse2

The AppImage can be "Installed", but this step is generally left up to the user. For example, you can use AppImageLauncher. Installing AppImageLauncher on Ubuntu can be done with the following commands:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:appimagelauncher-team/stable
sudo apt install software-properties-common appimagelauncher
