Before running, you may need to install some additional libraries, please see https://github.com/LairdCP/UwTerminalX/wiki/Installing for further details. You may also be required to add a udev rule to grant non-root users access to USB devices, please see https://github.com/LairdCP/UwTerminalX/wiki/Granting-non-root-USB-device-access-(Linux) for details.
ARM versions must be built from source using Qt 6.x. Pre-compiled release versions may be provided in the future if requested (please open an issue if this is something you would like).
Note: No support for this build/os is provided, no hardware is available for testing, it is built on github CI only. Use at own risk.
Release name: AuTerm_test_Mac_x64_arm64_<version>.tar.gz
