Q: How do I install Falafy on Linux?

Download the AppImage, make it executable with chmod +x Falafy-linux-x86_64.AppImage and open it with ./Falafy-linux-x86_64.AppImage. On Ubuntu, Debian, Mint and derivatives, you can also use the .deb package: sudo apt install ./Falafy-linux-amd64.deb. Both are for 64-bit PCs (x86_64). On Ubuntu 22.04 or newer, the AppImage needs the libfuse2 package (sudo apt install libfuse2). The AppImage updates itself; the .deb does not: when a new version is out, the app tells you and opens this page.

Choose where to use it. We highlight the option that matches the device you're on right now, but they're all free, ad-free and use the same account.

Frequently asked questions

Is Falafy free?

Yes. Downloading and using it is free, with no ads and no subscription.

Why does Windows show a warning when I install it?

The installer is not digitally signed yet, so Windows SmartScreen shows "Windows protected your PC". Click "More info" and then "Run anyway".

My antivirus blocked Falafy. Is it a virus?

No. Falafy doesn't have a code signing certificate yet (they cost money), and some antivirus programs block new unsigned software even when there is no real threat. This is called a false positive.

To install safely: only download it here at falafy.com.br; check that the file's SHA-256 matches the one shown below (in PowerShell: Get-FileHash .\Falafy-Setup-*.exe); in your antivirus, restore the file from quarantine and add an exclusion for the %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\Falafy folder. In Windows Defender: Windows Security > Virus & threat protection > Protection history > Allow.

If you'd rather not touch your antivirus, use the web version: it's the same Falafy, with nothing to install.

SHA-256 of the Windows installer: 45e6042541c1461cbcce3b12663dab1b6f5fc425fd9a2f2bd8bec92af5f5d45d (v0.9.1)
