When you install tabularis on macOS, you need to allow accessibility access (Privacy & Security) to the tabularis app.

If you are upgrading and you already have tabularis on the allowed list you will need to manually remove them before accessibility access can be granted to the new version.

macOS users who download directly from releases may need to run:

xattr -c /Applications/tabularis.app

after copying the app to the Applications directory.

Linux (Snap)

sudo snap install tabularis

Linux (AppImage)

Download the .AppImage file from the Releases page, make it executable and run it:

chmod +x tabularis_x.x.x_amd64.AppImage
./tabularis_x.x.x_amd64.AppImage

Arch Linux (AUR)

yay -S tabularis-bin
