Vector

Install

macOS

Section titled “macOS”

Download the latest .dmg from Releases, drag Vector into /Applications, open it. Because the build is unsigned, Gatekeeper blocks it the first time — right-click → Open → Open, or xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Vector.app.

Linux

Section titled “Linux”

Vector runs on x86_64 and aarch64 via WebKitGTK.

  • .deb (recommended): sudo apt install ./Vector_<ver>_amd64.deb (apt pulls the WebKitGTK deps); launch Vector from your app menu.
  • AppImage: chmod +x Vector_<ver>_amd64.AppImage && ./Vector_<ver>_amd64.AppImage. If a lib is missing: sudo apt install libwebkit2gtk-4.1-0 libgtk-3-0 libayatana-appindicator3-1.

Clipboard file-paste uses wl-clipboard (Wayland) or xclip (X11).

Windows

Section titled “Windows”

Vector runs on Windows 10/11 (x64).

Download the latest .exe installer from Releases and run it. Because the build is unsigned, SmartScreen shows a “Windows protected your PC” prompt the first time — click More info → Run anyway. Vector installs per-user and updates in-app.

One current limitation: in a plain shell pane the directory shown doesn’t follow cd live (it refreshes when you open the shell panel); agent panes track the directory normally.
