One-click install for Otter?

Will Otter eventually have a one-click install? I'm not a techie, and have no idea how to follow the line command instructions given at github. I've been reading the forum a while and, after trying Vivaldi, am anxious to give Otter a spin.

I don't know about one-click, but regular installers are available under "experimental binaries". I guess that text should really be changed to "download beta". :)

Yeah, I never would have gone to that link.

Is that zip file only for Windows? I'm using OS X. Didn't see anything at that link that looked like it would accept my system.

Well, that is kind of the point of calling it experimental and all. Might completely destroy your computer, yada yada. (Okay, the chances of that happening are quite low. :P)

Unfortunately I don't believe there are any Mac OS packages at present.

Seconded, at least if we want non-developers to download it. Few non-developers even know what a binary is.

@jasrandal, hopefully we will get MacOS X bundles soon.
Some initial work was already done, but our candidate to become a maintainer for that platform is currently busy with other stuff...

Thanks for the replies, I appreciate it. I'll keep on the lookout for an OS X release. Best to you.

Hi,

I just do not want to open a new thread, so here:
are there any binaries of the build 61 but for Windows 8 x64?
