Sigma File Manager v1.6.0

[aleksey-hoffman]

Download

You can install the app in one of these ways:

Operating system	Download link (latest version)
Windows (via winget)	winget install sigma --source winget
Windows (via Microsoft store)	⌛v1.6.0 is under review
Windows (unsigned installable)	Installable file (.exe)
Debian (Ubuntu) portable app | experimental	AppImage
If there's no compiled binary for your Linux dist, you can build the app from the source code yourself, using Node v15.14.0	npm run build

Info

This app is primarily developed for Windows because it has the largest user base. The Linux builds get a lot less development time. They are less stable and have more issues. When this project has enough supporters, I will be able to spend more time on Linux builds.

Windows | Installation notes

It's recommended to install the app via the Microsoft store.
If you decide to install the Installable file (.exe) instead, you might see a security warning during installation. If you see the warning prompt, click "More Info" and then "Run Anyway".
