Installation

EVAnalyzer is distributed as a pre-built binary for Linux, Windows, and macOS. No package manager or build toolchain is required to run the application.

Before downloading, check the System Requirements page - in particular if you plan to use a CUDA build for GPU-accelerated AI segmentation.

Downloading

Pick your operating system and whether you want a CUDA-accelerated build. The link below always points at the latest published release on GitHub.

1. Choose your operating system

Windowsx86-64Linuxx86-64macOSApple Silicon

2. CUDA acceleration?

No CUDACPU only - works everywhereWith CUDANVIDIA GPU required

Pick an operating system above to see the matching download.

Not sure which to pick?

If you don’t have a dedicated NVIDIA GPU, choose No CUDA - the CPU build runs everywhere and AI segmentation still works, just slower. See System Requirements for GPU/driver details.

Looking for project templates or AI models?

Those live on the separate Downloads page, linked at the top of every page.

Packages follow this naming scheme on the GitHub Releases page:

Platform	CPU-only	CUDA-accelerated
Windows x86-64	evanalyzer-windows-x86_64.zip	evanalyzer-windows-cuda-x86_64.zip
Linux x86-64	evanalyzer-linux-x86_64.tar.gz	evanalyzer-linux-cuda-x86_64.7z.001 + .7z.002
macOS (Apple Silicon)	evanalyzer-macos-arm64.tar.gz	- (CUDA is not available on macOS)

Linux CUDA package is split in two

The CUDA-enabled Linux build bundles the CUDA runtime libraries and exceeds GitHub’s 2 GB single-file limit, so it’s published as a two-part 7-Zip archive. Download both .7z.001 and .7z.002 into the same folder, then extract with:

7z x evanalyzer-linux-cuda-x86_64.7z.001

7-Zip automatically pulls in the second part - you don’t need to combine the files yourself first.

Extract the downloaded archive to a directory of your choice.

VS Code Extension

The EVAnalyzer File Support extension adds validation, autocomplete, and creation wizards for .evapipe, .evaproj, and .evapt files to VS Code.

Download the latest release →

Grab the evanalyzer-file-support-*.vsix file from the release’s assets, then install it:

code --install-extension evanalyzer-file-support-*.vsix

Not yet on the Marketplace

This extension isn’t published to the VS Code Marketplace or Open VSX yet, so it’s installed from the downloaded .vsix file rather than through the Extensions view’s search. You can also install it via Extensions → … → Install from VSIX… in VS Code - see VS Code Extension for details.

Starting EVAnalyzer

Linux

./evanalyzer

Linux libraries

Sometimes the GUI requires a few system libraries on Linux. If not still installed, install them once with:

apt-get install libinput10 libxkbcommon0 libfontconfig1 libgbm1

Windows

Double-click evanalyzer.exe, or from PowerShell:

.\evanalyzer.exe

Windows SmartScreen warning

Because EVAnalyzer is an open-source project and its releases are not commercially code-signed, Windows SmartScreen may block the application on first launch. This is expected and safe to dismiss.

Step 1 — When the blue “Windows protected your PC” dialog appears, click More info.

Step 2 — A Run anyway button becomes visible at the bottom of the dialog. Click it to start EVAnalyzer.

You will only need to do this once. Windows remembers your choice for this executable.

macOS

Open EVAnalyzer.app from the extracted folder.

macOS Gatekeeper quarantine

Because EVAnalyzer is not notarized through Apple’s developer program, macOS places a quarantine flag on the downloaded archive. Attempting to open the app with a double-click will show a dialog saying the app cannot be opened. Follow one of the two methods below to start it for the first time — you will not be asked again afterward.

Method 1 — Right-click (quickest)

Right-click (or Control-click) EVAnalyzer.app in Finder and choose Open from the context menu. A dialog will appear that — unlike the double-click dialog — includes an Open button. Click it to confirm and launch the application.

Method 2 — System Settings

If the right-click method does not work, macOS may have blocked the app silently. To unblock it:

1. Open System Settings -> Privacy & Security.
2. Scroll down to the Security section. You will see a message such as “EVAnalyzer was blocked from use because it is not from an identified developer.”
3. Click Open Anyway, then confirm with Open in the dialog that follows.

Method 3 — Terminal (remove quarantine attribute)

For users comfortable with the command line, you can remove the quarantine flag directly:

xattr -cr EVAnalyzer.app

After running this command, the app opens normally with a double-click, with no further prompts.

The application opens to the start screen showing the project configuration panel.

Building from Source

See the Building guide if you want to compile EVAnalyzer yourself.
