Installer SHA-256853aa56810ccc937f68d3865814f81a826fc196a4ee5e10ca994b5f8d9dd712e

v1.0.0

Minimum requirements: Windows 10/11 (64-bit)

For now there is only a Windows build. macOS and Linux will follow later.

By installing Luft you accept its licence.

Windows will warn you. Here is what you will see, and why

Luft is not signed with a code-signing certificate. That is not an oversight: the certificate that removes the warning from day one is only sold to registered companies, and Luft is made by one person. The installer works fine; it just goes through two warnings.

  1. When you download itChrome or Edge may say the file "is not commonly downloaded and may be dangerous". Choose Keep.
  2. When you run itWindows shows "Windows protected your PC" and an unknown publisher. Click More info, then Run anyway.
  3. And possibly your antivirusAn engine or two may flag it, almost always with a generic label ending in "!ml" — something like Trojan:Win32/Wacatac.B!ml. That "!ml" means it is a machine-learning guess, not a signature for anything known, and it is the most common detection against new, unsigned installers. Windows Defender on a real machine does not flag it. The link below goes to the full analysis so you can judge for yourself.

So how do I know I can trust it?

Do not take my word for it: check the file. The installer SHA-256 is below. If the one you downloaded gives the same value, it is exactly what is published here and nothing altered it on the way.

Verify your download

In PowerShell, inside the folder where you saved it:

Get-FileHash .\Luft_1.0.0_x64-setup.exe -Algorithm SHA256
