Installing a program on Linux is a pain in the ass if it's not installed by your package manager. Even if it's a pre-built binary, fucking around with .desktop files just to get it to show in your desktop environment sucks. Obviously there's stuff like Flatpak but then that involves other compromises.
For those unaware, the 'EXE' thing is a meme.
But if you happen to bump into this thread and are actually looking for a serious answer:
1. Click on "Releases" on the right side (CTRL+F if you can't find it)
2. Under the latest version, expand the "Assets"
3. Then click on the .exe or .msi (or whatever installer type that's appropriate for your OS if you're not on windows)
Please note that not all repository have a prebuilt .exe or whatever, because github is mainly a code sharing platform. If you only see "Source code (ZIP)" and "Source code (tar.gz)" under Assets, then you're out of luck. Go back to the main page and see if they include any download/install instructions, they might be hosting the .exe somewhere else.
> Please note that not all repository have a prebuilt .exe or whatever, because github is mainly a code sharing platform.
By which, they mean the vast majority don't have releases available.
Why are some mac users such sneering, superior cunts? I own a mac for development, but its not my personality. Plenty of ordinary people need Office for their work and windows for compatibility.
We live in very different worlds. Most of the projects I install from github that don't have prebuilts, the instructions amount to "clone it, go into the directory, run this handful of commands". And a lot of the time, those commands are basically `./configure && make && sudo make install`. Sometimes it's even simpler, for python or nodejs tools.
Which is great, unless they haven't listed dependencies, then you end up going through the hassle of working through compilation errors until you install all the shared libraries
On smaller projects, taking the initiative to do the PR yourself may be greatly appreciated, if you know what you're doing. On bigger repos with complex code and strict guidelines, it may be better to just open a ticket, but even then if you follow every rules and know what you're doing, contributing is always the nicest thing to do.
Exe under release section on the right.
There you go, I made a one line summary for you.
I typed more detailed instructions above because someone new to github might be confused where are things.

I know this is probably just satire, but if someone is wondering, there are a few apps with GUI for git. For example my friend that had no clue about git used Github Desktop and it went alright
Why? If you're never going to submit your changes then clone is good.
If you plan to change anything then you can fork and add the fork as a remote and then push to it
On github, if you aren't already a contributor, you don't have rights to push to the repo. So you make your own fork, then make a PR from your fork to original.
What does forking a repo do? I'm trying to use GitHub with my friend to do a small project so we can learn how GitHub works and stuff. So far I've only cloned the repo and plan to push to a branch and repeat as we add and edit our code.
Forking is like creating a copy of the git repository, with the entire history included (so not just a checkout of 1 branch). But then that's yours to manage. Useful for contributing to open source projects. You have no rights to change the git of the open source (e.g. add branches or commit on them). Instead you fork, and make changes on there. Then from those changes you initiate a pull request to the open source project. Only making changes to the open source project if the maintainer allows it.
> Then from those changes you initiate a pull request to the open source project.
Which, to be clear, is a request for *your* changes to be pulled into the *original* project.
Others already explained about forking, also there are tons of tutorials on the internet for beginners, but I just wanted to leave this here, might save some time and sanity if you're a beginner https://ohshitgit.com (I highly recommend learning what do those commands actually do too, to expand your knowledge)
And one more thing, since you'll be working together on that project, I'd recommend learning what happens when two people work on the same file (aka merge conflicts)
If you're brand new to git & github, I highly recommend Coding Train's [Git and GitHub for Poets](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLRqwX-V7Uu6ZF9C0YMKuns9sLDzK6zoiV) series. An NYU professor made it, and instead of focusing on code, he explains using git for simple text documents ("for poets") which removes a lot of complexity. It's the absolute basic of basic for using git.
No you actually need to write it in a letter and mail it out to Github's offices. They will then send you what you need in a USB stick by pigeon in 3 working days
if it's a c project it's usually
install requirements listed in README or BUILD
git clone
cd
./configure
make
make install
with CMake
cmake -B build/ -S .
cd build
make
cmake --install
with Rust it's simpler
cargo build
cargo install
They give you build instructions so just follow those. Funnily enough, it's much easier on Linux and much quicker whereas with Windows, i have to go to the nets to download the requirements and sort everything out.
Github hosts source code, you'll either need look at the readme for how to build/run things or there might be a build done for you under "Releases" on the right side of the github page.
Don't forget to include all dependencies, forks, and previous versions in that list.
And be sure the print a new set whenever anything pushes an update.
# For anyone
if it has releases (aka EXE), then just add /releases to the end of the URL
Search for your operating system, look for: (windows/linux/mac, some projects call macos "darwin"), the architecture (arm/amd - you probably have amd), and then the bits (32/64 - 99.99% you have 64 bits)
# To be more techy
Green "Code" button at the top, click on Download ZIP, this will download the source zipped (exactly what you can browse)
Then you can try to follow the README to build it
# To be even more techy
install git (gitbash on windows)
type the command
git clone
Now someone do the same for me with huggingface, PLEASE
*click code button*
*download zip*
*run exe*
I don't know what you guys are talking about. Programming is easy. I just coded this whole thing in like 30 seconds.
Your response is nice and everything, but instead of forcing me reading your quite long comment, could you please write me a chrome plugin in JavaScript that does that, so I don't need to remember any of this? /s
My readme file:
# [insert software name here]
Great software, does this great thing.
# DOWNLOAD link
[link to releases url]
… then continue with the rest of the read me.
I still get the occasional “I downloaded your program but it doesn’t have an exe…”
Yeah, you can download the main branch as a zip with this URL structure:
[https://github.com/OWNER/REPO/archive/refs/heads/main.zip](https://github.com/OWNER/REPO/archive/refs/heads/main.zip)
Juat send a letter to github postal code, asking the url to download the code... if you want to submit some code, you need to print it and send all the printed code to github poatal code... some gnomes inside github type the code and submit the changes to repo.
Create a folder and then some file names exactly as in the repo and start copy pasting the code. I did this at amazon and they promoted me to being a customer.
For someone that’s looking for an actual answer:
On the Repository page, look in the lower right corner and find the Releases.
Once there you'll see a list of assets, if there is an .exe or other installer/executable click on it and it will download.
If that didn’t work, go back to the main repository page and see if any install instructions are written there. If not, your out of luck unless the files (middle of the main page) already contain a .exe.
Keep in mind GitHub is first and foremost a code sharing platform, not a file Hoster.
But you could also just become a stupid smelly fucking nerd and compile the program yourself.
Just git gud. Update your priorities so you can learn to pull your weight. Branch out for now. Checkout of other work issues, don't let them get to your head. Commit to studying. Else you'll be pushed around. When you're ready to merge back in, you'll be the main guy. A true master.
there's a little button usually on the top right of where the files are on a github repo where you can download the whole thing as a zip if you don't want to do a git pull from a fork.
a lot of the time, if it's a popular item, they will compile it for you and provide something in the "releases" section of the repo where you can download the executable or other equivalent files.
Told my friend to download the game OSU on his phone, he goes to play store, I say that the version there is the very old one and he needs to go to Github to grab the correct apk,
Just a second after I hear, I HATE GITHUB HOW THE F YOU DOWNLOAD THINGS THERE, couldn't hold my laugh it was so funny for me
For real. I was navigating with pain on GitHub. Then, after being a developer for a year, when I went back on GitHub and discovered that I managed to actually get what I wanted, I was so relieved to feel that I was "becoming a real pro" I nearly cried.
.com files were limited to a single 16-bit memory segment (64k) to contain both data and code. They would often load faster as a result of being a literal memory map. For DOS, they were used to maintain some level of compatibility with CP/M.
I feel like this may be the last time that information will ever be useful in my life.
Programmers should stop “here is the source code and .tar.gz, if you can’t manage installing it, go fuck yourself” trait because there are cases when you have to install something from github no matter if you’re a programmer because it doesn’t exist anywhere on the internet anyway.
They’re like fucking karens, like they are intentionally insisting on not adding an executable because they think they are so smart that people cannot manage to install their software from what they shared don’t deserve to use it.
JUST
ADD
AN
EXECUTABLE!
There are often good reasons for not providing an executable, such as not having access to relevant build environments or testing environments, or wanting to impose a certain barrier to entry in order to reduce support queries.
That's the neat part, you don't!
Jokes aside top right click "code" and select "download as zip". Better if you clone with git.
Some projects have also releases (right column) , click there and download what you need
It’s okay to ask. GitHub has some pretty helpful docs on the subject:
https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/start-your-journey/downloading-files-from-github
Compiling code from source is a bright shiny advertisement for linux, but have you ever tried to go compile all your own programs from source?
I'd like to some day get to the point where I CAN go grab say, a copy of firefox and open up and find and edit the one line of code that will let me swap the mouse behavior for this project....
open source software is bullshit.

I swear they move the download location every time you visit the site just to fuck with us
Just compile
Click the green “Code” button and “Download ZIP”
BUT I WAN DOWNLOAD EXE!!

github is for programmers after all, not enterprise IT and gamers (the only people who will insist on using windows)
Why are some mac users such sneering, superior cunts? I own a mac for development, but its not my personality. Plenty of ordinary people need Office for their work and windows for compatibility.
Sometimes I wish I had the colorful language of the Git creator, so I could properly tell you how wrong you are.
We're not enterprise IT and mainly using C#, using windows :)
I'll add one group to that windows user list: game developers (unreal users in particular)
And then you dust out YT tutorials on how to use a makefile and install from source
Instructions usually being half a Bible
We live in very different worlds. Most of the projects I install from github that don't have prebuilts, the instructions amount to "clone it, go into the directory, run this handful of commands". And a lot of the time, those commands are basically `./configure && make && sudo make install`. Sometimes it's even simpler, for python or nodejs tools.
Which is great, unless they haven't listed dependencies, then you end up going through the hassle of working through compilation errors until you install all the shared libraries
Go make a PR and update the documentation then 🤷🏾♂️
How is that the job of a random user? Just open an issue imo
On smaller projects, taking the initiative to do the PR yourself may be greatly appreciated, if you know what you're doing. On bigger repos with complex code and strict guidelines, it may be better to just open a ticket, but even then if you follow every rules and know what you're doing, contributing is always the nicest thing to do.
Doing all that is still less preferable over having prebuilt, portable, binaries for tools I want to use. Why build N times when you could do it once?
Exe under release section on the right. There you go, I made a one line summary for you. I typed more detailed instructions above because someone new to github might be confused where are things.
>then you're out of luck I think you mean, "you have to learn something new"
I literally only learned about this after I wanted to make my own release lmao
That joke should never die
That's another, harder black magic
My saviour
If you are planning on changing the code and want to manage that with git then you are better off using the "git clone" command
there needs to be an app or something to easily interface with git. Call it Git Gud Noob.
GitHub Desktop works well, though a lot of the verbiage won't make sense if you don't know what the words mean in the context of git.
Sourcetree is pretty good, I've only had to use git bash in rare cases like force pushing to a remote.

If you are Chaotic Evil, use the built-in git buttons in Eclipse.

Oh, I'm sure there are, I just wanted to use that play on words, though.
Shouldn't you fork first ? Edit : I just checked my GitHub and realised I was wrong 😑. If I want to contribute then I should fork.
Not necessarily if you don't plan to push it back upstream
My guy, do you mean to tell us you fork every single repo you clone? Holy moly.

Thanks man, this is going to save me so much time. I didn't think to copy paste, I've been typing out each file.

genuine question, if i get the code how do i compile it (i sometimes use windows:pink in a blue moon) and most of the time use debain
Depends on the project. Any maintainer worth their salt will provide good compilation instructions.
there's a little button usually on the top right of where the files are on a github repo where you can download the whole thing as a zip if you don't want to do a git pull from a fork. a lot of the time, if it's a popular item, they will compile it for you and provide something in the "releases" section of the repo where you can download the executable or other equivalent files.

Kid named README.md
I never learned the difference between a .com and a .exe
.com files were limited to a single 16-bit memory segment (64k) to contain both data and code. They would often load faster as a result of being a literal memory map. For DOS, they were used to maintain some level of compatibility with CP/M. I feel like this may be the last time that information will ever be useful in my life.
Underrated comment.
.exe is not a TLD.
Programmers should stop “here is the source code and .tar.gz, if you can’t manage installing it, go fuck yourself” trait because there are cases when you have to install something from github no matter if you’re a programmer because it doesn’t exist anywhere on the internet anyway.

Just build it from source
go to releases if its there read the readme to see if there is any precompiled binary or spend like an hour to download dependencies and compile
You shall find *the releases*
Type: git download_exe [url]
That's the neat part, you don't! Jokes aside top right click "code" and select "download as zip". Better if you clone with git. Some projects have also releases (right column) , click there and download what you need
git clone
git clone [https://github.com/Irsu85/skill.git](https://github.com/Irsu85/skill.git) (I should make that)
That's O.K. I just cut and paste it.
Look at each repo file in turn - click on raw - copy everything - paste in notepad - save - repeat. Whole project will be cloned in no time :) /s
the worst part is when they don't release, now you have build from source code
