Getting started

Install & Getting Started

Install Donkey on Windows, macOS, Linux and open your first vault.

Install

Pick your platform on the download page and grab the build. On macOS you can also download and open the installer from the terminal:

```bash
curl -L -o ~/Downloads/Donkey-1.6.0.dmg "https://www.zhongdon.com/api/releaseArtifacts/file/donkey-1.6.0.dmg" && open ~/Downloads/Donkey-1.6.0.dmg
```

Open a vault

Run donkey open ~/notes — Donkey indexes the Markdown files in place, no import needed.
