Installation

The latest release can be downloaded from GitHub.

Standalone on Windows

Standalone builds support Windows 8.1 or later. Windows 7 may work (until it doesn't). WinFsp must be installed.

ninfs-2.0a9-win32-installer.exe contains WinFsp and will automatically install it if needed (though it will not update it).

ninfs-2.0a9-win32.zip requires WinFsp to be installed separately.

Standalone on macOS

ninfs-2.0a9-macos.dmg contains a signed and notarized application for Macs with Apple Silicon and Intel. Requires OS X 10.9 and later. macFUSE must be installed separately.

As a Python module

ninfs is available on PyPI and can be installed like any other package. Python 3.6.1 or later is required. Support depends on the availability of libfuse 2.x or a similar implementation. Nintendo Switch NAND support requires OpenSSL 1.1 or later (pre-included for Windows and macOS).

• Windows: py -3 -m pip install ninfs==2.0a9
• Linux and macOS: python3 -m pip install --user ninfs==2.0a9
