Install Videx.
Keep media local.

Install the Videx local app for the visual workflow or use the CLI for automation. Add the optional Chrome or Edge connector only when an authenticated browser page needs a local handoff.

Windows (PowerShell)

Download Windows v1.2.3

Run the automated installer in PowerShell. It configures PATH, sets up shortcuts, and checks the published checksum when available:

irm https://videx.binhakim.dev/releases/install.ps1 | iex
videx doctor
videx app

This is an unsigned alpha executable. The installer downloads the app, native host, and checksums from Videx. You can also download the native host and verify the matching SHA-256 file before running it.

macOS (Apple Silicon)

Binary pending

The signed Apple Silicon binary is not published yet. For now, use the cross-platform Python package:

curl -O https://videx.binhakim.dev/releases/videx_local-1.2.3-py3-none-any.whl
python3 -m pip install --user ./videx_local-1.2.3-py3-none-any.whl

Intel Macs and Apple Silicon Macs can use the Python package below until a signed native binary is published.

Linux (POSIX x86_64)

Binary pending

The standalone Linux binary is not published yet. Use the cross-platform Python package:

curl -O https://videx.binhakim.dev/releases/videx_local-1.2.3-py3-none-any.whl
python3 -m pip install --user ./videx_local-1.2.3-py3-none-any.whl
