Downloads explains which file to pick. All downloads are free, need no registration, and come from the project's GitHub pages.

Commander4j

Open the latest Commander4j release on GitHub. Scroll down to the heading Assets and click the file that matches your computer. The version number in the file name changes with each release; everything else stays the same.

Your computer File to click Size
Windows 10 or 11 (nearly everyone) Commander4j_version_windows-x64_with_jre.exe about 200 MB
Windows on ARM (Snapdragon laptops) Commander4j_version_windows-arm64_with_jre.exe about 160 MB
Mac with an Apple chip (M1, M2, M3, M4) Commander4j_version_apple_silicon_with_jre.dmg about 140 MB
Mac with an Intel processor Commander4j_version_apple_intel_with_jre.dmg about 140 MB
Linux Commander4j_version_linux.sh (Java 25 must already be installed) about 100 MB

The files are large because each one includes its own copy of Java. You do not need to install Java separately on Windows or macOS.

Not sure which Mac you have? Click the Apple menu, then About This Mac. If it says Chip: Apple M… choose Apple silicon. If it says Processor: Intel… choose Intel.

Ignore the two other files in the list: c4j_commander4j_web.war is the scanner web application for an Apache Tomcat server (see Installation), and updates.xml is used by the built-in update check.

The website has the same choices as buttons that always point at the newest release: commander4j.com/download.html.

Companion applications

Only needed when you connect Commander4j to an ERP or drive automatic labellers. They normally live on a server. Each release page lists the same five file types as above.

Middleware4j Converts and routes files between your ERP and Commander4j Latest release Installation Middleware4j
LabelServer4j Sends label data to case and secondary labellers Latest release Installation LabelServer4j
