Getting started

Install Esper

One binary per platform, or your own package manager.

Esper is a single app that acts as both host and controller. Install it on every machine you want to reach and every machine you want to reach from.

Windows

Or grab esper-1.0.0-setup.exe from the releases page. A silent-install MSI is there too for fleet rollouts.

macOS

Or download the .dmg from the releases page. Apple silicon and Intel are both in the one image.

Linux

Pick your channel

Prefer one file with nothing to install? The AppImage on the releases page runs anywhere. Plain deb, rpm and tarball downloads are there as well, and a systemd user unit ships in the box.

The Flatpak build runs inside the sandbox, so hosting uses the RemoteDesktop portal. On Wayland desktops that is the native path anyway. For headless machines use a native package instead.
