Install the editor
The editor runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Downloads are unlocked with your licence key.
No licence key yet? The 14-day trial needs none — install the editor and start the trial from Settings → License. How keys, seats, and the trial work is covered in Trial, licences, and seats.
Download
Go to docucommit.se/download and paste your licence key. The page detects your platform and offers the matching installer:
| Platform | File | Architecture |
|---|---|---|
| Windows | DocuCommit-windows-x64.exe | x64 |
| macOS | DocuCommit-macos-x64.dmg | Intel (x64) — there is no Apple Silicon build today |
| Linux | docucommit_amd64.deb | x64, Debian/Ubuntu (.deb only) |
Download links are signed and time-limited. If a link expires, re-enter your key to get a fresh one.
Verify before installing
Every release publishes a SHA-256 checksum per file, and the Linux package is signed with a GPG key you can download from the same page. Verifying is optional but takes seconds.
Compare the checksum shown on the download page with the one you compute locally:
# Linux
sha256sum docucommit_amd64.deb
# macOS
shasum -a 256 DocuCommit-macos-x64.dmg
# Windows (PowerShell)
Get-FileHash .\DocuCommit-windows-x64.exe -Algorithm SHA256
If the values differ, do not install the file.
Open a repository
The editor works against a Git checkout you create with your own tooling — see Connect your Git repository. Point it at that checkout and the repository is the source of truth from the first save onwards.
What the editor writes is described in Repository layout.
