Install and open

  • Do not use GitHub's Source code zip or tar.gz downloads for the desktop app.
  • macOS: open the DMG, drag CC Branch to Applications, then launch it from Applications.
  • Windows: run the MSI or setup EXE; no terminal or Python install is required.
  • Linux: install the DEB/RPM or run the AppImage directly.

Verify your download

  • Optional: compare your installer against SHA256SUMS before opening it.

What should work after install

  • Opening CC Branch should show the desktop shell without requiring a terminal.
  • On first launch, the app should show Local backend ready. Click Add project to connect a local directory or SSH workspace.
  • The bundled backend starts automatically and is verified by the release workflow before this release is published.
  • Settings can check for future signed updates using the included latest.json metadata.

If the app cannot start

Use the Retry button in the app first. If it still fails, download the installer for your platform from the table above and reinstall. Click Copy report in the startup error panel and attach the report when filing an issue.

CLI package

CLI users can install the Python package from PyPI with python3.10 -m pip install --upgrade cc-branch or any newer supported Python. The desktop app already bundles its backend.
