Full install

macOS

Richmack Browser installs to:

~/Applications/Richmack Browser.app

Persistent Richmack data is stored under:

~/Library/Application Support/Richmack Browser

A desktop launcher may also be created.

Richmack uses a dedicated Chromium profile so normal Chromium/Chrome data does not need to be mixed with Richmack.

Ubuntu / Debian

Richmack installs under:

~/.local/share/richmack-browser

The application launcher is created at:

~/.local/share/applications/richmack-browser.desktop

If a Desktop folder is available, a desktop launcher is also created.

Download:

richmack-extension-suite-v0.6.0.zip

Extract it and load the extensions individually from:

chrome://extensions

Enable Developer Mode and select Load unpacked.

The suite includes:

• Richmack Core
• Richmack Extract
• Richmack Images
• Richmack Email
• Richmack Media
• Richmack Feed
• Richmack Pick
• Richmack Automate

Backend

The browser can operate without every backend feature, but feed generation and some media/document operations require Richmack Services.

See Container-Backend.
