Download a ready-to-run ZIP from Yano v0.1.0-pre12. Extract the complete archive; keep the executable, launcher, and config/ directory together.

Choose your download

Distribution	Download	Requirements
JVM — recommended for app chains	yano-0.1.0-pre12.zip	Java 25
Linux x64	Native ZIP	Linux on x64
Linux arm64	Native ZIP	Linux on arm64
macOS arm64	Native ZIP	Apple silicon Mac
Windows x64	Native ZIP	Windows on x64

For app-chain onboarding, use the JVM distribution for now. It is also the distribution to choose for JVM extensions. Native images cannot dynamically load plugin JARs.

Start on macOS or Linux

For the JVM ZIP:

unzip yano-0.1.0-pre12.zip
cd yano-0.1.0-pre12
./yano.sh start:devnet

For a native ZIP, enter the corresponding extracted directory and use the same launcher. To connect to a public network instead:

./yano.sh start:preprod

Use separate storage for different networks. The launcher runs with configuration from the extracted distribution. See network configuration before changing networks or peers.

Start on Windows

Extract the ZIP with Explorer or PowerShell, then open PowerShell in the extracted directory. Native distribution:

.\yano.exe -Dquarkus.profile=devnet -Dyano.block-producer.script-evaluator=scalus

JVM distribution, with Java 25 installed:

java -Dquarkus.profile=devnet -jar yano.jar

For JVM app chains, use java "-Dquarkus.profile=devnet,appchain" -jar yano.jar.

Releases and documentation versions

The download links above select pre12, a published release. This site’s advanced reference follows the current org.yanoproject source line, which is newer. The namespace rename, newer wallet/history features, plugin contracts, and proof APIs are not all present in pre12. Use your release’s bundled configuration and /q/swagger-ui as the reference for its available endpoints.

Pre12 also predates the current split of additional stock app-chain extensions into Yano X. Do not infer a release’s bundled machines from the current-source module map. Use release-matched SDKs and verifiers, and check upgrade notes before reusing stored state.

You can browse all releases for later artifacts. To modify Yano itself or use unreleased changes, see build from source; building is not required for the download workflow.
