The easiest way is the [EffectCraft page on getartcraft.com](https://getartcraft.com/apps/effectcraft). For a specific file, use the [latest release](https://github.com/storytold/effectcraft/releases/latest) on GitHub. In the file names, `<version>` stands for the version number, for example `0.8.0`.
|
|
|
|
## Windows 11
|
|
|
|
1. Open the [latest release](https://github.com/storytold/effectcraft/releases/latest).
|
|
2. Download `effectcraft-<version>-windows-x64.msi`. It fits most PCs (Intel and AMD, 64-bit).
|
|
3. Run the file and follow the installer. It asks where to install EffectCraft and offers a **Create a desktop shortcut** box.
|
|
4. Start **EffectCraft** from the Start menu.
|
|
|
|
The release also has an `arm64` installer for Snapdragon and other ARM PCs, and an `x86` installer for 32-bit Windows. The installers are code-signed and install for all users. Later versions install into the same folder.
|
|
|
|
To run it without installing, download `effectcraft-<version>-windows-x64-portable.zip` instead. It contains `effectcraft.exe` and the command-line tool `effectcraft-cli.exe`. The `arm64` and `x86` builds have portable zips too.
|
|
|
|
## macOS
|
|
|
|
1. Download `effectcraft-<version>-macos-universal.dmg`. It works on Apple silicon and Intel Macs and is signed and notarized.
|
|
2. Open it and drag EffectCraft to Applications.
|
|
|
|
## Linux
|
|
|
|
Pick one file from the release. Replace `x86_64` with `aarch64` on ARM.
|
|
|
|
| File | How to use it |
|
|
|-----------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------|
|
|
| `effectcraft-<version>-linux-x86_64.AppImage` | Run `chmod +x` on the file, then run it. |
|
|
| `effectcraft-<version>-linux-x86_64.deb` | For Debian and Ubuntu. |
|
|
| `effectcraft-<version>-linux-x86_64.rpm` | For Fedora, RHEL and openSUSE. |
|
|
| `effectcraft-<version>-linux-x86_64.flatpak` | `flatpak install --user <file>` |
|
|
| `effectcraft-<version>-linux-x86_64.tar.gz` | Unpack it anywhere. |
|
|
|
|
There is also a RISC-V 64-bit `.tar.gz` (it needs glibc 2.39 or newer) and a FreeBSD x86_64 `.tar.gz`.
|
|
|
|
## In the browser
|
|
|
|
`effectcraft-web-<version>.zip` is the web build. It is a static site that runs in a modern browser and needs to be hosted on a web server. Projects, media and settings stay in the browser and on your computer.
|
|
|
|
## Install through ArtCraft Launcher
|
|
|
|
ArtCraft Launcher lists EffectCraft. Click **Install** on its card. See [Install and update Craft apps](https://getartcraft.com/docs/craft-launcher/guides/install-and-update-apps).
|
|
|
|
## Check the download
|
|
|
|
`SHA256SUMS.txt` on the release page lists a checksum for every file.
|
|
|
|
## Next
|
|
|
|
Open EffectCraft and make something: [Make your first composition](../guides/make-a-composition.md). If you only want to look around, choose **Open Demo Project** on the Home screen.
