Web Client

If you're a macOS user, you can only use the Web Client.

Installation on macOS​

Download the correct updater for your Mac and place it in an empty folder in your file system.

Info

You could also directly download OpenBullet2.Web-osx-x64.zip or OpenBullet2.Web-osx-arm64.zip, but the updater is recommended since it can be used to easily update your installation in the future.

Open a terminal and cd into the folder where you placed the updater. Then execute the following commands:

chmod +x ./ob2-web-updater-osx-x64
./ob2-web-updater-osx-x64

If macOS blocks the updater because it is from an unidentified developer, try to open it once, then go to System Settings > Privacy & Security and click Open Anyway for the blocked app.

Once the updater has finished downloading the latest version of OpenBullet 2, execute these commands to start the application:

chmod +x ./OpenBullet2.Web
./OpenBullet2.Web

If macOS blocks the app on first launch, use the same Open Anyway flow in Privacy & Security and start it again.

Wait until it prints the text you see in the picture below.

Terminal Window

Finally, navigate to http://localhost:5000 using your favorite browser and you should see the home page.

Troubleshooting​

macOS says the app cannot be opened​

This is expected for unsigned binaries on macOS. Try to run the updater or app once, then open System Settings > Privacy & Security and click Open Anyway for the blocked executable.

I downloaded the ZIP instead of the updater​

Unzip the archive, open a terminal in that folder, then run:

chmod +x ./OpenBullet2.Web
./OpenBullet2.Web
