Install the download version

This page shows which file fits your computer and how to install it. All files are on download.tournament.app:

• download.tournament.app/kickertool/download and download.tournament.app/petanque/download pick the right file for your system and start the download.
• download.tournament.app/kickertool and download.tournament.app/petanque list all files, if you need a different one.

The automatic download is right for most Windows PCs and current Macs. Check the table below if you use Linux, a Windows PC with an ARM processor or a Mac with an Intel processor.

Which file do I need?

System	File ends with	Note
Windows 10/11	_x64-setup.exe	Signed by tournament.io UG
Windows 11 on ARM	_arm64-setup.exe	The x64 file also works (emulated)
Mac with Apple chip (M1, M2, M3, M4 …)	_aarch64.dmg	Signed and notarized by Apple
Mac with Intel processor	_x64.dmg
Ubuntu, Debian, Linux Mint, Raspberry Pi OS	.deb	Recommended for these systems
Other Linux (Fedora, Arch, openSUSE …)	.AppImage	One file, runs everywhere
Linux with Flatpak	.flatpak	No automatic updates, needs internet to install

On Linux, every format exists for x64 and for ARM64. ARM64 files have aarch64 or arm64 in their name. 32-bit systems are not supported.

Mac: Apple chip or Intel? Open the Apple menu and choose About This Mac. Chip Apple M… means Apple chip, Processor Intel … means Intel. The automatic download always gives Macs the Apple chip version, because Safari does not tell the website which processor the Mac has.

Linux: x64 or ARM64? Run uname -m in a terminal. x86_64 means x64, aarch64 means ARM64. A Raspberry Pi 4 or 5 with the 64-bit Raspberry Pi OS is ARM64.

Windows

1. Download the .exe file and open it.
2. If Windows shows Windows protected your PC, click More info, then Run anyway. The app is signed, but new versions start with little reputation at Microsoft SmartScreen.
3. Follow the installer. Kickertool 3 then appears in the start menu.

macOS

1. Download the .dmg file and open it.
2. Drag the app into the Applications folder.
3. Start the app from Applications or Launchpad, not from the opened disk image.

The Intel version also runs on a Mac with Apple chip, but needs Rosetta. macOS offers to install Rosetta if it is missing. The Apple chip version is faster there.

Linux

.deb (Ubuntu, Debian, Linux Mint, Raspberry Pi OS)

Install the file with apt, in the folder where the file is. On x64:

sudo apt install ./Kickertool-3_*_amd64.deb

On ARM64 the file ends with _arm64.deb. For the Petanque App, the file starts with Petanque-App_. apt also installs missing dependencies such as libwebkit2gtk-4.1, which needs internet once. dpkg -i does not install them. The app then appears in the application menu and updates itself. To start it from a terminal, run kickertool-3 or petanque-app.

AppImage (all distributions)

1. Make the file executable: in the file manager under Properties, turn on Allow executing file as program, or in a terminal:

   chmod +x Kickertool-3_*_amd64.AppImage

   On ARM64 the file ends with _aarch64.AppImage.

2. Double-click the file to start it.

An AppImage is a single file and is not installed. Keep it in a fixed folder, for example ~/Applications. It updates itself.

Flatpak

Flatpak must be installed on your system. Then, on x64:

flatpak install --user app.tournament.tauri.kickertool-x86_64.flatpak

On ARM64 the file is app.tournament.tauri.kickertool-aarch64.flatpak. For the Petanque App, replace kickertool with petanque. Start the app from the application menu or with flatpak run app.tournament.tauri.kickertool.

The installation loads the GNOME runtime from the internet (several hundred MB). A Flatpak does not update itself, see Updates. For a computer that must work completely offline, take the .deb or the AppImage.

Prepare for a venue without internet

1. Install the app at home or wherever you have internet.
2. Start it once and log in.
3. Close it. From now on it starts without internet.

Run the app once before the event day, so a pending update is installed at home and not at the venue.

Kickertool V2 and the download version

Kickertool V2 and Kickertool 3 are separate apps. You can install both side by side; installing one does not touch the other. Tournaments from V2 are not taken over, see Tournament data.

FAQ

Do I have to uninstall Kickertool V2 first?

No. Kickertool V2 and Kickertool 3 are separate apps and can be installed at the same time. Neither changes the data of the other.

Can I install Kickertool 3 and the Petanque App on the same computer?

Yes. Both are separate apps with their own tournaments. They can be installed side by side, also as .deb packages and next to Kickertool V2.

Does the download version run on a Raspberry Pi?

Yes, on a Raspberry Pi 4 or 5 with the 64-bit Raspberry Pi OS. Take the ARM64 .deb file. 32-bit systems are not supported.

Does the download version run on a tablet or phone?

No. The download version exists for Windows, macOS and Linux. On tablets and phones, use the online version in the browser.
