This repository is a direct fork of the famous OpenLens project that includes binary builds for every stable or release version.

As of today, Mirantis, the main developers behind Lens only release a propritary version of Lens on their Website. While LibreLens can not provide any nameful support, it still offers many advantages compared to the Mirantis business solution:

• The propritary version requires LensID and your agreement to their Terms of Service. This open source build is MIT licensed and allows you to do with it whatever you want.
• The propritary version adds additional features that you may want to have, especially if collaborating with a team. This open source build does only include the features that are not also included in this repository.
• The proprietary version follows a subscription model that allows Mirantis to support your exact needs. This open source build provides you with a tool and that's it. No business support, no cost, no terms of service.

• go to the releases page
• download the binary for your system and use your default install procedure.

Packages are not code signed which may be a problem on Windows or Mac computers if you are not able to elevate priviledges. For code signed packages, a mac/windows developer account is neccessary. If you are able to provide the necessary resources for code signing, please let me know in the respective issue for windows or mac
