Nightly release

Nightly releases are versions built every day, containing the latest improvements and bugfixes, directly from the main development branch. These versions are generally useful in preparation for a release, to ensure that there are no significant bugs that need to be addressed first, or they can be used to confirm whether a particular bug is fixed or feature is well implemented.

Regarding the stability#

Despite being on a development branch, generally the main branch is pretty stable since PRs are tested before they are merged. If you notice any issues, feel free to report them either via a ticket or via the Matrix.

Downloading the nightly release manually#

Go to github.com/TriliumNext/Trilium/releases/tag/nightly and look for the artifacts starting with TriliumNotes-main. Choose the appropriate one for your platform (e.g. windows-x64.zip).

Depending on your use case, you can either test the portable version or even use the installer.

Automatically download and install the latest nightly#

This is pretty useful if you are a beta tester that wants to periodically update their version:

On Ubuntu:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

name=TriliumNotes-linux-x64-nightly.deb
rm -f $name*
wget https://github.com/TriliumNext/Trilium/releases/download/nightly/$name
sudo apt-get install ./$name
rm $name
