Use when adding software auto-update to a Tauri 2 desktop app, or when users ask about tauri-plugin-updater integration, app update checking, distinguishing installer vs portable builds for updates, or generating update manifests for GitHub Releases.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Tauri Updater

## Overview

Add self-update to a Tauri 2 desktop app using `tauri-plugin-updater`. Covers macOS DMG, Windows NSIS (auto-install), and Windows portable (manual download link). Uses a GitHub Releases-hosted `latest.json` manifest with signed artifacts.

## When to Use

- User asks to add "auto-update", "software update", "check for updates" to a Tauri app
- User asks about `tauri-plugin-updater` integration
- User wants to distinguish installer vs portable builds for update behavior
- User needs to generate update manifests for CI

**Don't use for:**
- Tauri 1.x apps (different updater API)
- Mobile apps (different update mechanisms)
- Apps distributed only via app stores (use store update mechanisms)

## Architecture

### Installer vs Portable

Tauri updater only works with installers (NSIS, MSI, DMG). Portable builds need a different path.

| Build | Update method | Implementation |
|-------|-------------|----------------|
| macOS DMG | Auto-download + install | `tauri-plugin-updater` full flow |
| Windows NSIS | Auto-download + install | `tauri-plugin-updater` full flow |
| Windows Portable | Link to GitHub Releases | Button opens releases page |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add luochang212/skill-zoo/tauri-updater@sha256:d40e9b79a9f65c23

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261023.11cd062, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
