Download

An installer and a portable version. Both contain the same program.

0.1.0 is a test version. You may run into all kinds of problems. If you use it on important files, please keep a backup of the originals first. If you find a problem, please tell us at [email protected].

Note: there is no code signature yet, so you may see a warning, but it works fine

A warning from your browser or Windows is not a result of examining this software. Before you go on, please check that the download came from dl.toriinthecat.com and that the file's SHA-256 matches the table below.

As more people use it, the warning may appear less often. For details, see First start.

To check a download, compare the value shown by PowerShell's Get-FileHash file-name with the value above.

Every package includes a list of its components (SBOM, CycloneDX) and the full licence text of each.

Install from the command line

Press "Copy" and paste into PowerShell or a terminal. The scripts connect to dl.toriinthecat.com only when you run them, and check the signature and SHA-256 before installing.

Windows (PowerShell, no administrator)

irm https://dl.toriinthecat.com/install/install.ps1 -OutFile "$env:TEMP\vz-install.ps1"; powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File "$env:TEMP\vz-install.ps1"

Linux (apt: Debian, Ubuntu, Linux Mint; asks for your sudo password)

curl -fsSL https://dl.toriinthecat.com/apt/vault-zip.gpg | sudo tee /usr/share/keyrings/vault-zip.gpg >/dev/null && echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/vault-zip.gpg] https://dl.toriinthecat.com/apt stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/vault-zip.list >/dev/null && sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y vault-zip

Linux (other distributions; no sudo, under ~/.local)

curl -fsSL https://dl.toriinthecat.com/install/install.sh | sh -s -- --user

More (list versions, check the script before running it)

You can also save the script and read it before running it.

Windows (PowerShell)

iwr https://dl.toriinthecat.com/install/install.ps1 -OutFile install.ps1
.\install.ps1            # latest version (current user, no administrator)
.\install.ps1 -List      # list versions

Linux (apt)

echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/vault-zip.gpg] https://dl.toriinthecat.com/apt stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/vault-zip.list
sudo apt update && sudo apt install vault-zip

Linux (script)

curl -fsSLO https://dl.toriinthecat.com/install/install.sh
sh install.sh --user      # no sudo: AppImage and CLI under ~/.local
sh install.sh --list      # list versions

The right-click menu on Linux

Items such as "Vault-ZIPで圧縮" (compress) appear in the file manager's right-click menu. Nemo (Linux Mint Cinnamon), Dolphin (KDE), Nautilus (GNOME) and Thunar (Xfce) are supported. Caja (MATE) is not supported yet.

With the deb, the package installs the Nemo and Dolphin items. The Thunar and Nautilus items are written to your own settings folder when Vault-ZIP starts. They stay after the package is removed; delete them from the settings file if you no longer want them.
On Xfce, the items do not appear when you right-click icons on the desktop (over the wallpaper). The Xfce desktop has no way to add items. Right-click files inside a Thunar window instead.

System requirements

System	Windows 10 or later (64-bit, x64). Not tested on Windows on ARM. Linux: x64, Debian-family (such as Linux Mint 22).
Also needed	Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime. Part of Windows 11 and present on most Windows 10 PCs. Where it is missing, the installer downloads it from Microsoft (the installer connects only in that case).
Disk	About 55 MB once installed (the installer itself is about 15 MB). The ledger and settings grow only as you use them.

First start

Vault-ZIP is not code-signed yet, so Windows or your browser may warn you when you download or start it.

If "Windows protected your PC" appears, click "More info", then "Run anyway" (screens below; the Windows here is in Japanese).
Check that the file's SHA-256 matches the value above before running it.

1. The first screen. Click "詳細情報" (More info)

2. After "More info", the Run button appears. The publisher shows as unknown because there is no signature

On a PC with Windows 11 Smart App Control turned on, unsigned apps may not start.

Uninstalling

Uninstall Vault-ZIP from Settings → Apps → Installed apps. Uninstalling keeps your password ledger and settings (there is no screen asking whether to delete them), so a reinstall carries on where you left off. To remove the ledger too, delete its folder (%APPDATA%\VaultZip) yourself after uninstalling. This cannot be undone.
