Install help

Skulk didn’t open? Three ways in.

Install hands a link to Skulk on your computer. The store never installs anything itself.

  1. No Skulk yet: get Skulk Desktop

    Free, for macOS (Apple silicon) and Linux. After setup, come back and press Install again.

  2. Skulk is installed: open it and retry

    Start Skulk Desktop, then press Install here again. Your browser may ask permission to open the link.

  3. Headless node: paste the link into the dashboard

    Open your Skulk dashboard in a browser, go to Plugins, and paste this link. Skulk verifies it against its own copy of the catalog.

    skulk://install?bundle=<bundle-id>&version=<version>

Whatever you choose, the permission review happens in Skulk, not here.

What signing means

Every capability release is signed by its publisher, and the store signs the list of publishers it trusts. Your Skulk checks both, and the release itself, before it installs anything. Descriptions and screenshots are written by publishers; the permissions and facts in the signed panel are part of the signed release.
