# openPilotLog



Welcome to openPilotLog, the free and open source airline pilot logbook application! You can find the latest release [here](https://github.com/fiffty-50/openPilotLog/releases). Please not that this is still an early testing version.



## Tl;dr



Airline pilots are required to maintain a logbook containing details of their flights. These logbooks were historically written by hand on paper, but of course nowadays more and more people are doing it electronically, be it in their own excel sheet or using a paid logbook software.



I have used paid solutions for many years, and have seen more and of them move from being a one-time license purchase to becoming a "Logbook as a Service" type subscription. After the one I have been using for the last couple of years, and had bought a "lifetime license" for ended up announcing they also moved to a subscription based service, I decided that it is time for a free and open source alternative that is fast, easy to use, and does not require a subscription.



## How does it look like?

## Installation



Right now, there are only [testing versions](https://github.com/fiffty-50/openPilotLog/releases) available, so I have not created installers for them. Since this version is aimed at early testers and advanced users, some manual steps may be required to install openPilotLog.



### Windows

Download and install the [release](https://github.com/fiffty-50/openPilotLog/releases/download/beta/openPilotLog_v0_1_windows_x64.zip) and unzip it to a destination folder of your liking.

### macOS

Download and open the .dmg file for your configuration ([arm64](https://github.com/fiffty-50/openPilotLog/releases/download/beta/openPilotLog_0_1_macOS_arm64.dmg) - M1/M2 based machines, [x86_64](https://github.com/fiffty-50/openPilotLog/releases/download/beta/openPilotLog_0_1_macOS_x86_64.dmg) - Intel based).

### Linux - using flatpak

Make sure you have [flatpak](https://flatpak.org/setup/) installed and working. Then download the [release](https://github.com/fiffty-50/openPilotLog/releases/download/beta/openPilotLog_0_1_linux_x86_64.flatpak) and install the package.



```bash

# Requires kde platform runtime version `5.15-21.08`.

flatpak install org.kde.Platform 

flatpak install --user [PathToDownloadedPackage].flatpak



# Then run the program with

flatpak run org.opl.openPilotLog

```

### Linux - build latest from source

If you want to build the project from source you can use cmake-ninja, Qt Creator flatpak-builder (see `yaml` file located [here](docs/deployment/linux-flatpak/org.opl.openPilotLog.yaml)). You can find more information in the [deployment docs](docs/deployment/linux-flatpak/flatpak_creation.md)
