Install PyOps

PyOps is a local desktop application. Download the current build from the latest GitHub release, then choose the file for your operating system.

Platform	Download	Notes
Windows x64	PyOps_*_x64-setup.exe	Run the installer. Installed builds can update themselves.
Linux x64	PyOps_*_amd64.AppImage	Recommended. Make it executable and run it; supports in-app updates.
Debian/Ubuntu x64	PyOps_*_amd64.deb	Installs through the system package manager; update it by installing a newer package.
macOS Apple Silicon	PyOps_*_aarch64.dmg	For M-series Macs. Drag PyOps into Applications.
macOS Intel	PyOps_*_x64.dmg	For Intel Macs. Drag PyOps into Applications.

Which Mac do I have?

Open Apple menu → About This Mac. Choose the Apple Silicon build when Chip starts with Apple M; choose the Intel build when the dialog shows an Intel Processor.

Linux AppImage

Make the downloaded file executable, then open it:

chmod +x PyOps_*_amd64.AppImage
./PyOps_*_amd64.AppImage

If your system does not provide FUSE, run the AppImage without mounting it:

./PyOps_*_amd64.AppImage --appimage-extract-and-run

Prefer the AppImage when you want automatic updates

The .deb build does not update itself. Download and install each new .deb release manually, or use the AppImage instead.

First launch

PyOps opens its local application window and creates its app-level configuration. A new project contains no Factorio recipes or items yet; that is expected. Continue to Choose or create a project.
