Download the file for your system from the [latest release](https://github.com/storytold/designcraft/releases/latest) and install it. In the file names, `<version>` stands for the version number, for example `0.7.1`. The release also has `SHA256SUMS.txt`, which lists a checksum for every file. The [DesignCraft page on getartcraft.com](https://getartcraft.com/apps/designcraft) links to the download as well.
## Windows 11
1. Open the [latest release](https://github.com/storytold/designcraft/releases/latest).
2. Download `designcraft-<version>-windows-x64.msi`. It fits most PCs (64-bit Intel and AMD).
3. Run the file and follow the installer.
4. Start **DesignCraft** from the Start menu.
The release also has an `arm64` installer for ARM PCs such as Snapdragon, and a 32-bit `x86` installer. To run without installing, download `designcraft-<version>-windows-x64-portable.zip` (or the `arm64` or `x86` version), unzip it and start the program inside. The installers and executables are code-signed.
## macOS
1. Download `designcraft-<version>-macos-universal.dmg`. It works on Apple silicon and Intel Macs.
2. Open it and drag DesignCraft to Applications.
The app is signed and notarized.
## Linux
Pick one file from the release. Replace `x86_64` with `aarch64` on ARM.
| File | Notes |
|-----------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------|
| `designcraft-<version>-linux-x86_64.AppImage` | Runs anywhere. |
| `designcraft-<version>-linux-x86_64.flatpak` | Sandboxed. Install with `flatpak install --user <file>`. |
| `designcraft-<version>-linux-x86_64.deb` | Debian and Ubuntu. |
| `designcraft-<version>-linux-x86_64.rpm` | Fedora, RHEL and openSUSE. |
| `designcraft-<version>-linux-x86_64.tar.gz` | Unpack anywhere. |
For RISC-V there is a `.deb`, an `.rpm` and a tarball, named with `riscv64` in place of `x86_64`. There is no AppImage or Flatpak for RISC-V. The RISC-V build needs glibc 2.39 or newer (Ubuntu 24.04 or newer). A FreeBSD build (`designcraft-<version>-freebsd-x86_64.tar.gz`) is on the release page too.
## Install with ArtCraft Launcher
ArtCraft Launcher lists DesignCraft and can install and update it for you. See [ArtCraft Launcher](https://getartcraft.com/docs/craft-launcher) for how it works.
## First run
Open DesignCraft. You land on the start screen. Continue with [Getting started](index.md). If the window closes right away, see [DesignCraft closes right after it starts](../troubleshooting/app-closes-at-start.md).
