Installing Profinity on macOS and Linux
Available Profinity Releases
Profinity is currently available on Windows machines as a standard desktop application, for selected Unix Platforms (including macOS and Linux) and as a Docker container for Docker enabled environments and Cloud setups.
Zip Installation
Profinity is available as a zip installation file for Unix and macOS platforms. This approach does not require an installer, but it does require the Microsoft ASP.NET Core 9.0 runtime.
To use this installation approach, first download and install an ASP.NET Core 9 (or above) runtime. Note that we are currently only testing against .NET 9 releases, so if you do use a more recent version you may have issues. The ASP.NET Core runtime is the version of .NET that is required.
Once installed, download the latest Profinity release .zip file from the Prohelion GitHub releases page and unzip the file into the folder that you wish to run Profinity from.
Starting and Stopping Profinity
To start Profinity from a Zip installation, go to the folder where Profinity has been unzipped and simply run the command
dotnet Profinity.dll
The following or similar should then appear.
Prohelion Profinity - v2.2.1.0
