Get AuraDeck v0.6.0

Free to download. Decks are plain HTML, so anything you make stays readable without the app.

Install from a terminal

The shortest route, and on macOS the one that avoids Gatekeeper refusing the app. Packages for every platform are below.

Linux and macOS

curl -fsSL https://auradeck.org/install | sh

Picks the right package for your machine, checks it against the published digest, and installs it. On macOS it also clears the quarantine flag, which is what stops an unsigned build opening with “AuraDeck is damaged”.

Windows (PowerShell)

irm https://auradeck.org/install.ps1 | iex

Same job. It checks the download against the published digest and then clears the Mark of the Web, which is what stops SmartScreen answering an unsigned build with “Windows protected your PC”.

Android ships one APK that runs on both architectures. It is sideloaded, so your file manager will ask you to allow installs from it once.

On macOS, use the one-line install above. The builds are not notarised yet, so a disk image opened by hand fails with “AuraDeck is damaged and can’t be opened”. That message is Gatekeeper refusing an app it cannot check, and it is not a sign anything is wrong with the download. If you would rather have the .dmg: drag AuraDeck to Applications, then run both of these. The first clears the quarantine flag your browser attached; the second re-signs the copy locally, which macOS also wants before it will launch a bundle it cannot verify. xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/AuraDeck.app && codesign --force --deep --sign - /Applications/AuraDeck.app

Opening a deck

AuraDeck files use the .adsl extension: a zip holding one HTML file per slide, a manifest, and any images and CSV data the deck uses. You can also point the app at a plain folder with the same layout, which is what to do if the deck lives in a git repository.

If you would rather commit the single .adsl, git can be told to diff it as text: auradeck --dump writes a deck out slide by slide, and two lines of config make git diff show the change to the markup instead of “binary files differ”.
