PgEvidence PgEvidence

Installation

Download the latest installer from the Releases page.

Prerequisite: psql

PgEvidence runs the system psql (PostgreSQL client). Install it if you don’t have it (Homebrew, Postgres.app, the EDB installer, or your distro’s postgresql-client). The Linux packages pull it in automatically. If psql lives somewhere unusual, set its path in Settings → Environment.

macOS

  1. Open the .dmg and drag PgEvidence to Applications, then eject the disk image.
  2. The app is unsigned, so Gatekeeper blocks it on first launch. Either:
    • download the DMG with curl -LJO <url> (no quarantine flag is set), or
    • run once: xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/pgevidence.app
  3. Grant Screen Recording (System Settings → Privacy & Security → Screen Recording) so the proof-of-time screenshots work, then quit and reopen the app.

Windows

Run the .msi. SmartScreen may warn — choose More info → Run anyway.

Linux

Terminal window
sudo apt install ./pgevidence-*-linux-amd64.deb    # Debian / Ubuntu
sudo dnf install ./pgevidence-*-linux-amd64.rpm    # Fedora / RHEL

The PostgreSQL client is installed as a dependency.
