Snapshots of Kexi aka nightly builds.

Linux

So called Nightly builds listed here:

development (experimental) version: https://invent.kde.org/office/kexi/-/jobs

These are distribution-independent Flatpak repositories. How to use Flatpak is documented at https://flatpak.org.

Short Flatpak How To

(one time) install Flatpak tools (see https://flatpak.org)

(one time) add the KDE repository http://distribute.kde.org/flatpak-apps-testing to your Flatpak setup (use command line):

flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists kde https://distribute.kde.org/kdeapps.flatpakrepo

(one time) to install stable version of KEXI:

flatpak install kde org.kde.kexi-stable

(one time) to install experimental (development) version of KEXI:

flatpak install kde org.kde.kexi

to run KEXI (either version, you can make a shortcut or script for easy use):

flatpak --filesystem=$HOME run org.kde.kexi-stable
flatpak --filesystem=$HOME run org.kde.kexi

(--filesystem=$HOME gives KEXI access to your home folder, use --filesystem=/ to give access everywhere; without --filesystem KEXI will be run securely without access to your files)

To update KEXI (either version, no need to uninstall first):

flatpak update kde org.kde.kexi-stable
flatpak update kde org.kde.kexi

or update all installed Flatpak apps (so KEXI is updated too):

flatpak update

to uninstall KEXI (either version):

flatpak uninstall kde org.kde.kexi
flatpak uninstall kde org.kde.kexi-stable

Note

You can use any Flatpak front end app such as "Discover" KDE app to add repository, install apps and perform updates: https://userbase.kde.org/Discover#How_to_handle_repositories

Windows

So called Nightly builds. Pick one of them:

test of stable version (3.2.0): https://binary-factory.kde.org/job/Kexi_Release_win64/
development (experimental) version (3.3.0 Alpha): https://binary-factory.kde.org/job/Kexi_Nightly_win64/

In the Last Successful Artifacts section of the above pages click either:

kexi-*******.7z for a 7z archive and when it downloads just uncompress it (using 7-Zip program) to your folder of choice and run kexi-***.exe program.
or kexi-*******.exe installer and when it downloads run it and let the installer guide you.

Notes:

This is a 64 bit application requiring Windows 7 (64 bit) or newer. XP not supported (e.g. due to Qt's requirements).
You can uncompress as many versions of KEXI from the 7z archive at the same time as you want.
You can install as many minor versions of KEXI using the installer as you want, e.g. 3.2, 3.3, 3.4...

macOS

To be announced. Ask us about availability.

Outdated

No longer supported, at least for now.

-Details:
+===Short Flatpak How To ===
+* (one time) install Flatpak tools (see https://flatpak.org)
-* The download size is about 170MiB, is compressed and contains all needed dependencies.
+* (one time) add the KDE repository http://distribute.kde.org/flatpak-apps-testing to your Flatpak setup (use command line):
-* To run the app see http://appimage.org, the "To run an AppImage..." section.
-* No need to uninstall previous version of Kexi - these versions are independent and work without installation
-* Kexi settings and recent files are obtained from the user account and shared with all Kexi versions.
-Known bugs:
+ flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists kde https://distribute.kde.org/kdeapps.flatpakrepo
-* [https://github.com/appimage-packages/kexi/issues/5 No PostgreSQL support] (only MySQL and SQLite available)
-Help us improve:
+* (one time) to install stable version of KEXI:
-* Definition page at https://github.com/appimage-packages/kexi.
+ flatpak install kde org.kde.kexi-stable
-* Report bugs at: https://github.com/appimage-packages/kexi/issues.
-* More info about the technology: http://appimage.org.
