.deb | Debian, Ubuntu, and derivatives |
.rpm | Fedora, RHEL, and derivatives |
.AppImage | Any distribution (portable, no install required) |

Section titled “Fedora / RHEL”sudo rpm -i sidequest_*.rpmAppImage
Section titled “AppImage”chmod +x Sidequest_*.AppImage./Sidequest_*.AppImageUpdates
Section titled “Updates”Sidequest checks for a new release when it starts. When one is available, a toast reads Update X.Y.Z available with an Install & Restart button; the update is downloaded, verified against the release signature, and the app relaunches.
Sidequest also checks whether a newer Claude Code CLI is available and offers to update it from the same kind of toast.
