Install notes
macOS
Garden isn't yet signed or notarized, so Gatekeeper will quarantine
the .app on first launch. To bypass:
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine "Topiary Garden.app"
Then move it to /Applications and open as usual.
Windows
Unzip and run topiary_garden.exe. The SmartScreen prompt appears on
unsigned builds - choose More info then Run anyway.
Linux
Extract and run:
tar -xzf Topiary-Garden-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
cd topiary-garden
./topiary_garden
Requires glibc 2.31 or newer. SDL3 loads X11 and Wayland at runtime, so no extra distro packages are needed.
Version checking
Garden's Help menu has a Check for Updates item that pings the release feed and prompts if a newer version is available. The first check runs automatically at startup, throttled to once every 24 hours.
