Binaries only, no source. Windows .exe/.msi go up as release attachments
(they are 64-77 MB each, too big for git history); .deb packages are
committed under debs/ like the other *-deb repos.

# darthvader — downloads
Prebuilt packages for **darthvader**, the native desktop client for digital
voice (M17 / DMR / YSF / NXDN / D-STAR / P25, EchoLink, AllStar, SvxLink, APRS,
POCSAG) with DV3000 USB AMBE+2 support.
This repository contains **binaries only** — no source. Source lives in a
separate private repository; the published sources of the GPL components ship
with each package.

## Windows
Download from the [latest release](../../releases/latest):
| File | For |
|---|---|
| `darthvader-<version>-win64.exe` | Normal install (NSIS), Start menu + desktop shortcut |
| `darthvader-<version>-win64.msi` | MSI, for unattended/managed deployment |
Windows 10/11 64-bit. The packages are **not code-signed**, so SmartScreen shows
a warning — choose *More info* → *Run anyway*. Everything is bundled (Qt, codecs,
LADSPA plugins); nothing else needs installing.
Silent install:
```cmd
darthvader-<version>-win64.exe /S
msiexec /i darthvader-<version>-win64.msi /qn
```
DV3000 / ThumbDV / DVstick sticks appear as COM ports through the FTDI VCP
driver and are detected automatically. If audio stutters, lower the port's
*Latency Timer* to 1–2 ms in Device Manager → Port Settings → Advanced.
## Debian / Raspberry Pi OS
`.deb` packages in [`debs/`](debs/) — bookworm and trixie, `amd64` and `arm64`
(Pi Zero 2 W and newer):
```sh
sudo apt install ./darthvader_<version>_<arch>.deb
```
## Verifying downloads
Each release lists SHA-256 sums in `SHA256SUMS`:
```sh
sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS
```
## Support
Bug reports and questions: SA7AUX. Runs on Debian 12/13, Ubuntu 22.04+, Linux
Mint, Raspberry Pi OS (arm64) and Windows 10/11.
