Installation

CBSmembers is a desktop application. It connects to the CBSmembers server — multiple staff members can run it simultaneously on their own machines.

System requirements

The installer includes the .NET runtime — there is nothing else to install.

Step 1 — Download

Go to the Download page and download the package for your platform.

Step 2 — Install

Windows: run the installer (.exe). It will install CBSmembers and add a shortcut to the Start Menu and, optionally, your desktop.

Linux: extract the tarball and run the install script:

tar -xzf CBSmembers-*.tar.gz
cd CBSmembers-*
sudo ./install/install.sh

This copies the binary to /usr/local/bin and adds a launcher to your application menu. You can also run CBSmembers directly without installing: ./usr/bin/cbsmembers

macOS: open the .dmg, drag CBSmembers to your Applications folder. On first launch, right-click and choose Open if macOS shows a security warning.

Step 3 — Launch and log in

Open CBSmembers. You will be prompted to log in with an email address and password. These credentials are set up by Stockwood CBS before your society's first use; ask your administrator if you don't have them yet.

After five failed login attempts, the account is locked for 15 minutes.

Updating

Download and run the new installer (Windows) or tarball (Linux) over the top of the existing installation. Your login details and any local preferences are preserved.
