People are rightly cautious about downloading a program from “somewhere on the internet.” That is why the installers for my programs live on the well-known platform GitHub. Here is why that is reliable.
What GitHub is
GitHub is a large global platform where developers keep the code of their programs and publish ready-to-use versions for download. It is the industry standard.
Why I host the files there
- Openness. The file is not on some random site, but on a well-known platform.
- Version history. You can see when each version came out and what changed.
- Always the latest version. You download the newest release, not an outdated file.
It is safe
The download comes from GitHub itself over a secure connection. You can also check that the files are clean on the Security page — it has the VirusTotal reports.
How to download the latest version
- Open the page of the program you need on my site.
- Press the download button — it leads to the Releases section on GitHub.
- Download the file from the latest release and run it.
Which programs
Each one has a free demo to try.
In short
Hosting the files on GitHub is transparent and reliable: the version history is visible and you always download a fresh release.
