Installation

Download SkellyCam

The easiest way to get started is to download the pre-built installer for your operating system from the Download page.

Available platforms:

• Windows — .exe installer
• macOS — .dmg (Intel and Apple Silicon)
• Linux — .AppImage or .deb

The installer is self-contained — it bundles both the SkellyCam server and the UI, so you don't need to install Python, Node.js, or any other dependencies.

Linux Notes

• The .AppImage may need to be made executable: chmod +x SkellyCam-*.AppImage
• Audio recording requires PortAudio: sudo apt install portaudio19-dev

Install from Source

If you're a developer or contributor and want to run from source code, see the Development section for full setup instructions.
