As LRR is a server app first and foremost, its setup is a bit more complex than your usual Desktop application. However, a lot of work as been done behind the scenes to make it easy!
Look at the methods below for something that fits your OS and usage.
Homebrew allows you to quickly setup LRR on macOS and Linux without relying on containers or modifying your preinstalled system libaries.
🍎Homebrew (macOS)While not a part of the main repo, you can check out the Nix package as well if brew isn't to your taste.
This method works on 64-bit editions of Windows 10 only.
I provide a dedicated installer for Windows machines as of 0.6.0, complete with a GUI and autostart.
🪟LRR for Windows (Win10)Taking a page from sysadmin books, you can easily install LRR as a container with Docker. They're lightweight, easy to update, and automatically built/tested. I recommend this for NAS setups!
🐳Docker (All platforms)Installing from source is a more involved procedure, but it does put you in full control and able to hack up the app's files as you wish.
🛠️Source Code (Linux/macOS)Ready-to-install packages provided by voluntary maintainers or by a linux distribution itself.
🐧Community (Linux)Similar to installing from source with an altered process for FreeBSD compatability.
👿Jail (FreeBSD)Switch to 10 or Linux.
