certdoctorDownload certdoctor
Take the archive for your system from the releases page and unpack it. There is nothing to install.
The command line
| Your system | The archive | What you run |
|---|---|---|
| Windows on x64 | certdoctor_0.1.0_windows_amd64.zip |
certdoctor.exe, signed |
| Windows on Arm | certdoctor_0.1.0_windows_arm64.zip |
certdoctor.exe, signed |
| Linux on x64 | certdoctor_0.1.0_linux_amd64.tar.gz |
./certdoctor, one static file |
| Linux on Arm | certdoctor_0.1.0_linux_arm64.tar.gz |
./certdoctor, one static file |
| macOS on Apple silicon | certdoctor_0.1.0_macos_arm64.tar.gz |
./certdoctor, a link into certdoctor.app, signed and notarised |
On Linux the command line needs no C library, so the same file runs in Alpine, in Ubuntu and in an image with nothing else in it. certdoctor --license prints the licence and the notices of the code by others that travels with it.
The window
certdoctor-gui has archives of its own, for three systems. Each carries the command line as well, because the window runs it:
| Your system | The archive | What you run |
|---|---|---|
| Windows on x64 | certdoctor-gui_0.1.0_windows_amd64.zip |
certdoctor-gui.exe, signed |
| Linux on x64 | certdoctor-gui_0.1.0_linux_amd64.tar.gz |
./certdoctor-gui |
| macOS on Apple silicon | certdoctor-gui_0.1.0_macos_arm64.tar.gz |
certdoctor-gui.app, signed and notarised |
Keep the files of the window’s archive together. The window says why.
Every archive also carries LICENSE, THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.md and the README, and the window’s archives THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES-GUI.md too.
Check what you downloaded
Each release lists the SHA-256 of every file in verify-SHA256SUMS.txt, and GitHub signs a statement of what went into each one. Check what you downloaded shows the commands.
From source
With Go 1.27.4 or newer:
git clone https://github.com/donislawdev/certdoctor
cd certdoctor
CGO_ENABLED=0 go build ./cmd/certdoctor
In PowerShell, set the variable on its own line first: $env:CGO_ENABLED = "0", then go build ./cmd/certdoctor. CGO_ENABLED=0 gives the same static binary the releases carry, the one that runs in an Alpine image as it is.
