Aardvark Studio Core
The free base install. It contains no products and no server: sign in and your organisation's licensed products install themselves, and the server is deployed separately by whoever runs it.
Installers are not published from this site yet
There is no download host configured for this build of the site, so the rows below are the release's artifacts and their status rather than links. Deployments are frequently on-premise and often air-gapped, so an organisation that hosts these four files on its own intranet is the normal case, not the exception — and the desktop app's own Check for updates points at whatever base URL its server was given.

Verify what you downloaded
Every artifact is published beside a .sha256in sha256sum format, so checking one is a copy-paste rather than a lookup.
sha256sum -c <file>.sha256Products are not downloaded
They are entitlement-gated and fetched at sign-in, verified against a key compiled into the Core. A page that linked a product archive would be handing it to everyone who visited.
The server is separate
It is an operator artifact — a container image and a compose bundle — and it reaches whoever deploys it, not this page.See requirements.
Before you install
The desktop app is the front of a system that needs a server. If nobody has deployed one yet, start on the requirements page — it is one container and a compose file, and you can do it yourself.
