Part of the beta? Beta testers get a license that runs for a longer period than the trial license included in this download. Not in the beta yet? Join the beta.
Getting started
- Unzip the download. It holds one folder for each system:
windows,macosandlinux. - Open a terminal in the folder for your system. On macOS and Linux, start each command with
./(for example./wavelens); in PowerShell, with.\. - Compare two files:
wavelens analyze --ref reference.wav --dut device_under_test.wav --out report.html
Keep wavelens.lic in the same folder as the executables — that’s where the tools look for it. Open report.html in any browser to see the result. Full command and report documentation is at docs.wavelens.dev.
First run on each system
These early beta builds aren’t code-signed yet, so your system may warn you the first time you run them. Check the hash below first.
Windows. SmartScreen can show an “unknown publisher” warning. Choose “More info”, then “Run anyway”.
macOS. The builds are for Intel Macs; Apple Silicon Macs run them through Rosetta 2, which macOS offers to install the first time. They aren’t signed or notarized by Apple yet, so macOS can block the first run of a downloaded copy. Clear the download flag from inside the macos folder:
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine .
Linux. Each tool is a single self-contained file for 64-bit Intel/AMD processors, so there is nothing to install. If the shell says “permission denied”, run chmod +x wavelens wavscan wavsummary once.
Verify your download
SHA-256 of wavelens-v071-beta.zip:
0c215551ab51ffc2e3dd172aeab1d7c8af23b4a78b951025cdda59324ea8cf42
To check it, run one of these in a terminal and compare the result:
certutil -hashfile wavelens-v071-beta.zip SHA256 (Windows) shasum -a 256 wavelens-v071-beta.zip (macOS) sha256sum wavelens-v071-beta.zip (Linux)
Each system’s folder also has a SHA256SUMS file for the files inside it. On macOS run shasum -a 256 -c SHA256SUMS in that folder; on Linux, sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS.
