No license keys. No account required. Install it, open your browser, and start programming.
Every option installs the same platform. Pick whichever suits the hardware you have. Current release v0.27.0.
Download and run the installer. OpenAVC starts as a Windows service with a system tray app. Open http://localhost:8080 to start programming.
Windows 10 or later, x64.
Download the installer and double-click it. OpenAVC runs in the background as a service with a menu-bar app, and opens the Programmer when it finishes. Open http://localhost:8080 to start programming.
macOS 11 or later. Apple Silicon (M-series) or Intel.
One command installs everything: Python environment, systemd service, firewall rules. Supports Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, RHEL, and Arch.
Or download the archive manually:
Pre-built SD card image for Pi 4 and Pi 5. Flash it, plug it in, and access OpenAVC at http://openavc.local:8080. Plug in an HDMI touchscreen for a built-in wall panel.
Flash with Raspberry Pi Imager. Default login: openavc / openavc.
Multi-architecture image (amd64 and arm64) published to GitHub Container Registry. Data persists in a volume mount, so pulling a new image keeps your projects.
Runs on Linux Docker hosts. The compose file uses host networking so device discovery can reach your AV gear, which Docker Desktop on Windows and macOS cannot provide. See the compose file for serial passthrough and other options.
Clone the repo, build the web interfaces, and run it with Python. This is the whole platform, same as every other option here, and the way to go if you want to modify it.
Requires Python 3.11+ and Node.js 18+. On Windows, activate the venv with venv\Scripts\activate. The getting started guide covers the system packages each distro needs.
Open http://localhost:8080/programmer in your browser. Add your devices, build a touch panel, and deploy. No account, no activation, no phone-home. The getting started guide walks through your first space.
Turn any Android or iOS tablet into a dedicated AV touch panel. Auto-discovers your OpenAVC system on the network, scans a QR code to pair, locks the tablet to the panel for unattended use, and relaunches on boot.
Android APK available now on GitHub. Google Play and the App Store are coming.
