Is there a "Latest Version" download link?

Is there a permalink to the latest seq installer? I want to automate the install/upgrade.

I could use chocolatey but that seems a version behind.

Hi Rob!

Unfortunately, you'll need to follow an HTTP redirect, but https://datalust.co/download/begin?version=latest will do it.

There's also https://datalust.co/api/releases/latest, which will give you a JSON response like:

{"latestRelease":"2022.1.7378"}

if you want to plug a specific version into the download URL, e.g. https://datalust.co/download/begin?version=2022.1.7378.

Avoid taking a dependency on the structure of the redirect target URL, we're in the process of moving release artifacts from one blob store to another :-)

Hope this helps,
Nick
