Install

The installer contains everything: the app, the verlet-agent service, and on Linux the verlet-probe profiler. No account, no server to set up.

Private preview

verlet is under active development and not yet tested end to end on every platform. The first downloads are for macOS on Apple silicon; Linux and Windows follow once they are tested. Until then, the demo shows the real app with sample data.

Platforms

Platform	Package	Status
macOS, Apple silicon	.dmg	first preview
macOS, Intel	.dmg	after testing
Linux, x86_64	AppImage, .deb, .rpm	after testing
Windows	installer, portable .exe	after testing

Remote machines must be Linux x86_64 with glibc 2.17 or newer and about 500 MB free in your home directory. They need nothing installed; verlet puts its runtime there itself.

Install on macOS

1. Download the .dmg and open it.
2. Drag verlet into Applications.
3. Open verlet. Preview builds are not signed yet, so the first time macOS asks: open System Settings → Privacy & Security and choose Open Anyway.

First start

• verlet-agent starts on 127.0.0.1:8080, or a free port if that one is taken.
• Your computer is added as the local environment and scanned for engine executables: on the PATH, in ~/.local/bin and in the usual install prefixes. Each one found is run to read its version and packages.
• The documentation index for the editor and the agent is built in the background. The app is usable straight away.

No engine on your computer? Use a remote machine, or let verlet build one.

Updates

The app checks for new versions and installs them when you quit. Remote machines get the matching runtime the next time verlet connects.

Uninstall

Delete the app. Your simulations, versions and run history are in the data folder; delete it too to remove them.

Platform	Data folder
macOS	~/Library/Application Support/verlet/agent
Linux	~/.config/verlet/agent
Windows	%APPDATA%\verlet\agent

On remote machines, delete ~/.verlet.
