1 Download Nuts
Nuts provides several download versions depending on your requirementsStandard Binaries are used if you want to benefit of all new features
Production Binaries used mostly for production with more stability and slower updates
Installers are used if you are more familiar with GUI Wizard installers
Offline Binaries are used critical or isolated systems, such as docker containers. They provide a statically built version of nuts that does not require external dependencies.
Older archived versions are provided for you to browse old version
1.1 Standard Binaries
We recommend downloading the Standard version (0.8.6.0) of Nuts for most use cases, including personal use, development, and framework integration. While it is not considered a production release, it is generally stable and includes the latest features and updates. For production environments, we strongly advise using the production version (0.8.5.0), which is tested and packaged specifically for stability and long-term use.download manually https://maven.thevpc.net/net/thevpc/nuts/nuts-app/0.8.6/nuts-app-0.8.6.jar
java -jar nuts.jar -Zy
On Windows systems, first launch will create a new
nuts
Menu (under Programs) and a couple of Desktop shortcuts to launch a configured command terminal.
-
nuts-cmd-0.8.6
: this shortcut will open a configured command terminal.
nuts
command will be available as well as several nuts companion tools installed by
nadmin
by default
-
nuts-cmd
: this shortcut will point to the last installed
nuts
version, here 0.8.6
Any of these shortcuts will launch a nuts-aware terminal.
Supported Windows systems include Window 7 and later.
$ curl -sL https://maven.thevpc.net/net/thevpc/nuts/nuts-app/0.8.6/nuts-app-0.8.6.jar -o nuts.jar
$ java -jar nuts.jar -Zy
$ exit
(using wget):
This will reuse any previous nuts installation before installing the latest version.
$ wget https://maven.thevpc.net/net/thevpc/nuts/nuts-app/0.8.6/nuts-app-0.8.6.jar -qO nuts.jar
$ java -jar nuts.jar -y
$ exit
Linux Systems installation is based on bash shell. First launch will configure "~/.bashrc" so that
nuts
and other companion tool commands will be available in any future terminal instances. Note that shells are also supported and the relative
rcfiles
are also updated (including
zsh
,
fish
etc) Using
nuts
on unix-like system should be seamless. A simple bash terminal (Gnome Terminal, KDE Konsole,...) is already a nuts-aware terminal.
All Linux versions and distributions should work with or without X Window (or equivalent). Graphical system is required only if you plan to run a gui application using
nuts
. All tests where performed on OpenSuse Tumbleweed.

MacOS Systems installation is based on
bash
shell. First launch will configure "~/.bashrc" so that
nuts
and other companion tool commands will be available in any future terminal instances. Using
nuts
on MacOS system should be seamless. A simple bash terminal (MacOs Terminal App) is already a nuts-aware terminal.
1.2 Production Binaries
For production use, we recommend downloading the Stable version (0.8.5.0) of Nuts. This release is production-ready, thoroughly tested, and designed for long-term reliability. Use the Production version for mission-critical deployments. For development, personal use, or framework-based integration, the Standard version is generally sufficient and provides access to the latest features.download manually https://maven.thevpc.net/net/thevpc/nuts/nuts-app/0.8.5/nuts-app-0.8.5.jar
