Install the apps

Kripos is the same app on every device. Get it from the download page, which picks the right file for the device you’re on.

Windows

1. On the download page, choose Download for Windows.
2. Open the downloaded Kripos_…_x64-setup.exe and follow the installer.
3. If Windows SmartScreen says it doesn’t recognise the app, choose More info, then Run anyway.
4. Open Kripos from the Start menu.

IT teams installing on many PCs can use the .msi instead.

Kripos needs Microsoft Edge WebView2, which Windows 10 and 11 already have. If a PC doesn’t, the installer downloads it.

Mac

1. Choose Download for Mac and open the .dmg.
2. Drag Kripos into Applications.
3. The first time, right-click Kripos in Applications and choose Open, then Open again.

Android phones and tablets

From Google Play (once Kripos is listed there): choose Get it on Google Play on the download page, or search for Kripos in the Play Store.

From the download page until then:

1. On the phone or tablet, open the download page and choose Download the APK.
2. Open the downloaded file. If Android asks, allow your browser to install unknown apps.
3. Choose Install, then Open.

iPhone and iPad

Kripos is coming to the App Store. Until then, use the web app in Safari:

1. Open the web app’s address in Safari.
2. Tap Share, then Add to Home Screen.
3. Open Kripos from the home screen. It works like an app, and keeps working offline once it has opened.

Linux

1. Choose AppImage (or .deb for Ubuntu and Debian, .rpm for Fedora).
2. For the AppImage: make it executable (chmod +x Kripos_*.AppImage) and run it. For a .deb: sudo apt install ./Kripos_*.deb.

In a web browser

Nothing to install: open the web app in Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox and sign in. Once a browser has opened Kripos, it keeps the app and opens it even without internet. On a tablet or phone, Add to Home Screen (or Install app in Chrome) to open it like an app.

Updates

• Windows, Mac and Linux: Kripos checks for new versions. When one is ready, a banner offers Update now: it downloads, installs and restarts. Send the order you’re working on first.
• Android and iPhone: the app store updates Kripos. If a version is too old to keep working, Kripos says so and links to the download page.
• Web browser: a new version downloads in the background; choose Update now when the banner shows.

Your current version is on Account, under App version.

Sign in on the app

Open Kripos and sign in with your email and password. The box at the top shows the server: leave it unless you were given another address. To use the device as a till or kitchen screen, enrol it.
