✔ Launching the installerWhat this package is
A few kilobytes that download the right installer and check it. The app itself is not in this package — it is an 85MB Electron desktop app, and a registry is the wrong place to keep four platform builds of it when any given machine wants one.
So this reads the GitHub release, picks the build matching your platform and
architecture, downloads it, verifies it against the sha512 the release
publishes, and hands it to your installer. Node's standard library only — no
dependencies.
What Campus Connect is
A desktop app for the things two of your own devices need to do together, none of which should require the internet:
- Clipboard and files — copy on one machine, paste on another
- Rooms and chat, encrypted with a password only members know
- Voice and video calls over WebRTC, peer to peer, no signalling server
- Remote desktop — see and control another machine, once it says yes
- Your phone, paired by scanning once, with the whole app in its browser
It works on a network with the internet unplugged.

Windows on ARM has no build. Rather than hand it the x64 one and let it fail later, this says so and points you at running from source.
A note on the warning you will see
The installers are not code-signed, so Windows SmartScreen says "unknown publisher" and macOS asks you to confirm. That is the absence of a certificate, not a finding about the file — which is why this tool verifies the download against the release checksum, and why the whole thing is open source.
