Install DesignCraft Download DesignCraft 0.6.0 for Windows 11, macOS or Linux, or install it from ArtCraft Launcher. 20 0.6.0

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 0.6.0. 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. To run without installing, download designcraft-<version>-windows-x64-portable.zip (or the arm64 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.
