I’ve installed Parallels on my mac, and created an Ubuntu 24.04 ARM64 VM.
I’ve downloaded ART 1.24 from here https://bitbucket.org/agriggio/art/downloads/ART-1.24.tar.xz
How the hell do I install this?
Keep in mind I’m an idiot, so I need step by step instructions!
Thanks guys
Hi,
What you downloaded is the source code, you would need to compile it. There are binaries at Releases · agriggio/ART-releases · GitHub, but only for x86-64 machines, not for ARM. Sorry about that, but I can’t build for all possible architectures and os combinations, so I’m just limiting to the more popular ones (which I have available). Ultimately, providing more builds should be a community effort, I simply can’t do this alone (and I’m not really interested tbh…)
Sorry!
There is a native Mac os build here ART 1.20 for macOS notarized build
That link now goes to the build that crashes quite a bit on Mac at the moment - 1.2.4 dmg.
I would go Parallels/Windows, but that would cost me a bloody fortune for the Windows 11 Pro licence.
The only reason I installed Parallels/Ubuntu today was me assuming I’d be able to install a trouble-free ART on Linux.
I was hoping someone could just explain in easy terms, how to install ART on Linux.
FYI, I just bought an old 2nd hand mac mini. It should be here sometime next week. Let’s see if that helps in nailing down those crashes…
This is how I do it on Ubuntu.
After downloading ART
I extract it to my desktop
Open the folder on the desktop
Click on the file ART and that’s it.
That’s the way I install ART and run it.
Hope that helps.
Stick with it Andy, ART is so good.
If you need step-by-step screenshots (I use KDE, but Gnome would be very similar):
Then from the browser’s Downloads icon, select show in folder:
Extract:
Open the extracted folder, double-click on ART.
Just to clarify again: I understand that you installed Ubuntu on an ARM machine, is that right @Andy_Astbury1 ? That’s why the above instructions will not work for you, because the binary is for x86-64, not ARM. As I wrote before, I can’t provide a build for ARM, sorry. But maybe someone else can…
Oh, good point regarding ARM vs x86-64. I thought there was a compatibility layer? I found this, seems to be commercial, though.
lower performance emulation is available to run x86/x64 on Apple Silicon

Sorry… I put the wrong link…
There is another one that works better for me here ART 1.24.1 at least using 4 times more RAM than RawTherapee
At least without the ctl scripts part I did not seen it crashing as much as the other one. Also the memory usage and speed are better.
Install Whisky / Parallels and create bottle and install exe or tar for linux and run it.
Watch on YouTube how to use Whisky or Parallels.
Actually it’s free software: GitHub - utmapp/UTM: Virtual machines for iOS and macOS
No idea how it performs though
It is free Alberto, but just tried the available non-ARM linux VM’s and they are all very slow.
Thanks for all the replies guys - much appreciated.
It’s shame that ART can not be ‘built around’ the ARM version of RawTherapee 5.11…I’ve got that installed, and can not make it crash for love nor money - totally rock solid and stable.
Every one I know who gives ART a go really likes it a lot, because it’s far more intuitive and easy to understand than RawTherapee.
ART is really powerful, I get far better results with ART than Darktable and similar in RawTherapee but better.
You can definitely build an ARM version, it’s just not prebuilt…
Well, if someone would show me how…!!!
I packaged ART in nixpkgs > nixpkgs works on Mac and ART is built for ARM there. Not sure its an easier path tho (and I haven’t tested it on Mac arm).
I think ART Ver. 1.23 is more stable on Mac. You can get it from link below.
Practically there is no difference with Ver. 1.24.1, unless you use newest cameras.
If you would like to make self-build ART on ARM Ubuntu and if ART dependent libraries are available on ARM Ubuntu (but I’m not sure), following instructions may be applicable.
https://bitbucket.org/agriggio/art/wiki/BuildUbuntu
And if you have trouble to build ART with the build-art file included in the source code, following advises are useful.
