How to install Vastra

Detailed guides for configuring Vastra securely on all systems.

Windows Installation Details

Setup is quick and comes with a native uninstaller.

  • 1

    Download Vastra Setup

    Click the download setup button to fetch the universal installer file Vastra-Setup-0.1.0.exe (~88MB).

  • 2

    Bypass Windows Defender Warning (Unsigned binary)

    As the setup is unsigned during this early-access test, Windows SmartScreen may show a warning pop-up. Simply click "More Info" and select "Run anyway" to launch the setup client.

  • 3

    Desktop Shortcuts & Default Launch

    The installer automatically mounts dependencies, places launch icons directly on your Desktop and Start Menu, opens the app shell, and guides you to register Vastra as your default system browser.

Linux AppImage Installer

Run the shell installer command line tool directly from your local terminal emulator.

curl -fsSL https://YOUR-HOST/downloads/install-vastra-linux.sh | bash
  • 1

    Verify Prerequisites

    Ensure you have Node 18+ and npm configured on your Linux machine (the shell installer will build the browser package natively for your device architecture).

  • 2

    Run Installer script

    Executing the command fetches the setup script, pulls repository dependencies, builds an optimized standalone executable package, and compiles a native AppImage.

  • 3

    Desktop Application Menu Integration

    The build tool copies a vastra.desktop manifest file into your local ~/.local/share/applications/ directory so you can launch Vastra from your normal OS Applications menu instantly.

macOS Universal Client

We are currently polishing the custom Electron macOS runtime bundle.

  • 1

    Universal dmg disk image

    On release, we will provide a universal bundle that runs natively on both Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3) and legacy Intel processors.

  • 2

    Apple Hardened Runtime

    Vastra will support Apple's security runtime protocols and will be safely code-signed to ensure flawless Gatekeeper verification on start.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does Windows show an "Unsigned warning" pop-up? +

Because Vastra v0.1.0 is currently in early-access test mode, the installer file has not been code-signed with a commercial Microsoft Developer Certificate yet. Windows Defender SmartScreen alerts users for any unsigned setups. Simply click "More Info" and select "Run anyway" to install safely. Rest assured, Vastra is completely malware-free and local-first.

Why does the Linux installer script require Node & npm? +

To avoid massive binary file deliveries across different Linux distributions, Vastra's Linux installer retrieves the core source files and builds the native AppImage directly on your machine. This requires standard Node.js (version 18+) and npm to execute the local package build pipeline.

Where are browser logs and settings stored on my device? +

Vastra operates on a zero-server framework, storing everything locally on your drive. Log logs are saved to %APPDATA%/vastra-browser/vastra-main.log on Windows, and settings/history are saved in your local app data directory under highly secure local encryption folders.

What are the system specifications for Vastra? +

Windows: Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit), 4GB RAM minimum, ~200MB disk space.
Linux: Ubuntu 20.04+, Debian 10+, Node 18+, npm 9+, gcc compiler tools.
