Install

This section targets an installation without Docker.

The portable and standalone release builds are available on the releases page on GitHub. The nightly build is updated nightly if the main branch has new commits.

First, download the version of the software you wish to install compatible with your system, and extract the zip file. Please consult the supported platforms table if you are unsure which file to download.

Then, start the server by opening a command prompt in the folder, and run the following command. The application will perform a one-time setup if not already done.

./recipya serve

You can now access the website at the address specified.

Example

Let’s say you have a Windows 11 computer, and you want to install Recipya v1.2.0 on it.

Access

You would first access the releases page.

Download

Identify version v1.2.0 and download recipya-windows-amd64.zip under the Assets section.

cd C:\path\to\recipya
