Install DesignCraft Download DesignCraft 0.7.1 for Windows 11, macOS or Linux, or install it from ArtCraft Launcher. 20 0.7.1

Download the file for your system from the latest release 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 links to the download as well.

Windows 11

  1. Open the latest release.
  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 for how it works.

First run

Open DesignCraft. You land on the start screen. Continue with Getting started. If the window closes right away, see DesignCraft closes right after it starts.
