Not publicly available yet. Spork is in alpha; builds are being shared individually with people who have a concrete use case. Email hello@quantumnexum.com with a short description and which platform you need. Reasonable requests get a binary.
What you'll need
os Linux x86_64
(macOS / Windows on demand — not shipped today)
glibc 2.35+ (Ubuntu 22.04+, Debian 12+, RHEL 9+)
disk ~40 MB binary + ~10 MB initial CA state
ram ~50 MB resident during normal operation
deps none — pure-Rust static binary, SQLite vendored
Verification
Each Spork build is signed with the Quantum Nexum code-signing key. The signature and the public verification key arrive in the same email as the binary. Verify before running:
spork verify --signature spork.sig --pubkey qn-codesign.pub ./spork
If you don't trust the email channel, ask for the build to be
placed in the PKI tree under
quantumnexum.com/pki/downloads/spork/
instead — same binary, fetched over HTTPS chaining to the
Quantum Nexum root that you've already
installed.
