Download

Install

In the folder you downloaded it to, run:

sudo apt install ./enci_1.0.1099_amd64.deb

This also installs VLC, which ENCI uses to preview audio and video. Then start ENCI from your apps menu, or run enci.

You can also double-click the file to install it with Ubuntu's App Center. It will say Unknown publisher and Potentially unsafe: App Center shows this for every app installed from a downloaded file rather than from Ubuntu's own sources, not just ENCI. Click Install to continue, or use the command above.

Update

Run the same command with the newer file. It replaces the installed version and keeps your settings.

Uninstall

sudo apt remove enci

Other distributions

Unpack the .tar.gz and run ./ENCI from the unpacked folder. For audio and video preview, install your distribution's VLC (libvlc) package.

Requires 64-bit (x86_64) Linux.

Download

Install

Open the disk image and drag ENCI into your Applications folder.

  • Apple Silicon Macs: the first time you open ENCI, macOS offers to install Rosetta 2. Accept it.
  • Permissions: macOS asks whether ENCI may access removable drives and your Desktop, Documents and Downloads folders. Allow them so ENCI can show those files. You can change this later in System Settings → Privacy & Security → Files and Folders.
  • Audio and video preview: install VLC from videolan.org, or run brew install --cask vlc.

Update

Quit ENCI, open the new disk image, drag ENCI into Applications and choose Replace. Your settings are kept.

Uninstall

Drag ENCI from Applications to the Trash.

Requires macOS 12 or later.

Your settings

ENCI keeps your settings separately from the app, so they survive updates and uninstalling. To start fresh, delete the settings folder: ~/.config/ENCI on Linux, ~/Library/Application Support/ENCI on macOS, or %APPDATA%\ENCI on Windows.

Checking a download

To make sure a file arrived intact, compare its SHA-256 checksum with the one shown above: sha256sum <file> on Linux, shasum -a 256 <file> on macOS.
