- Download the latest APK file
- Enable "Install from unknown sources" on your Android device
- Install the downloaded APK
- Open the app and follow the initial setup process

Competitor Comparisons
A rewrite of Tachiyomi for the Desktop
Pros of Suwayomi-Server
- Cross-platform compatibility: Runs on various operating systems
- Headless operation: Can be used as a backend server without a GUI
- API-driven architecture: Allows for integration with different front-end clients
Cons of Suwayomi-Server
- Requires separate client setup: Not an all-in-one solution like TachiyomiJ2K
- Potentially more complex setup: May need additional configuration for server deployment
- Less direct user interface: Relies on external clients for manga reading experience
Code Comparison
Suwayomi-Server (Kotlin):
@GET("api/v1/extension/install/{pkgName}")
suspend fun installExtension(@Path("pkgName") pkgName: String): Response<Unit>
TachiyomiJ2K (Kotlin):
override fun setupPreferenceScreen(screen: PreferenceScreen) {
val context = screen.context
preferences = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(context)
}
Both projects use Kotlin, but Suwayomi-Server focuses on API endpoints for server-client communication, while TachiyomiJ2K deals with Android-specific UI preferences. This reflects their different architectures and use cases.
