Install and downloads

The public entry points are simple: use the browser demo for instant testing, use GitHub Releases for stable downloadable binaries, or build the CLI locally from source. Installer scripts are included for convenience, not because the tool needs a complex runtime.

Recommended download path

Use the GitHub Releases page for stable public downloads. Releases are intended for end users and remain attached to version tags.

Workflow artifacts

Workflow artifacts are useful as a developer fallback, but they are temporary and not the primary public download channel. They normally require repository read access and are retained only for a limited period.

Windows

# Download a release archive from GitHub Releases and extract sapblob.exe
# Or use the installer script directly

iwr https://raw.githubusercontent.com/umsername/sap-blob-decompress/main/scripts/install.ps1 -UseBasicParsing | iex

# Then run it
sapblob.exe "C:\Users\umsername\sap-blob-decompress\test.data"

Linux / macOS

# Use the installer script directly
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/umsername/sap-blob-decompress/main/scripts/install.sh | bash

# Or build locally
go test ./...
go build ./cmd/sapblob
./sapblob example.blob

Install with Go

go install github.com/umsername/sap-blob-decompress/cmd/sapblob@latest

This is the cleanest path for Go users who already have a working toolchain.

Self-host the web demo

bash ./web/build.sh
python -m http.server 8000 --directory web

The web demo is static. No backend is required. GitHub Pages is the intended public host, but any static file host works.

What the installer scripts actually do

They are optional convenience wrappers around the same release archives linked above.
