## Installation

### Linux
**Debian / Ubuntu (APT repository, updates with `apt upgrade`):**
Download the latest `.deb`, `.AppImage`, `.rpm`, or `.flatpak` from [Releases](https://github.com/QueryaHub/Querya-Desktop/releases):

```bash
curl -fsSL https://repo.querya.app/gpg.key | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/querya.gpg
echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/querya.gpg] https://repo.querya.app/apt stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/querya.list
sudo apt update && sudo apt install querya-desktop
```
# Debian / Ubuntu (.deb)
sudo apt install ./Querya-Desktop-*-linux.deb

**Fedora / RHEL (DNF repository):**
# Fedora / RHEL (.rpm)
sudo rpm -i Querya-Desktop-*-linux.rpm

```bash
sudo dnf config-manager --add-repo https://repo.querya.app/rpm/querya.repo
sudo dnf install querya-desktop
```
# AppImage (standalone executable; Ubuntu 22.04+ requires libfuse2)
# Ubuntu 22.04+: sudo apt install libfuse2 # or libfuse2t64
chmod +x Querya-Desktop-*-linux.AppImage
./Querya-Desktop-*-linux.AppImage

Or download the latest `.deb`, `.AppImage`, or `.tar.gz` from [Releases](https://github.com/QueryaHub/Querya-Desktop/releases):
# Arch Linux (AUR)
yay -S querya-desktop

```bash
# Debian / Ubuntu (.deb)
sudo dpkg -i querya-desktop-linux-amd64.deb
sudo apt-get install -f

# AppImage (Standalone executable)
chmod +x querya-desktop-*.AppImage
./querya-desktop-*.AppImage
# Flatpak (local bundle)
flatpak install --user ./Querya-Desktop-*-linux.flatpak
```

> **Note:** Linux builds utilize `libsecret-1` for OS-level credential protection. Ensure `libsecret-1-0` is installed on your system.

> **APT/DNF repositories:** A hosted repository (`repo.querya.app`) is planned — see [#1059](https://github.com/QueryaHub/Querya-Desktop/issues/1059). Until then, use the GitHub Release assets above.

### Windows
Download the Windows installer (`.exe`) or portable archive (`.zip`) from [Releases](https://github.com/QueryaHub/Querya-Desktop/releases). Run the setup to automatically register `.sql` and `.sqlite` file associations.

### macOS
Download the universal `.dmg` from [Releases](https://github.com/QueryaHub/Querya-Desktop/releases), mount the disk image, and drag **Querya** into your `Applications` folder.

> **Unsigned builds:** If Gatekeeper blocks the app after installation, run:
> ```bash
> xattr -cr /Applications/Querya.app
> ```
