Getting Started

Installation

Download signed macOS disk images or portable Windows executables and verify SHA-256 checksums.

Prebuilt desktop releases are published on GitHub Releases.

Release artifacts

Platform Architecture Artifact Notes
macOS Apple Silicon (arm64) mcl-<version>-arm64.dmg Signed and notarized
macOS Intel (amd64) mcl-<version>-amd64.dmg Signed and notarized
Windows x64 (amd64) mcl-<version>-windows-amd64.exe Portable executable
Windows ARM64 (arm64) mcl-<version>-windows-arm64.exe Portable executable

On Windows, amd64 refers to x86-64 / x64 (64-bit Intel and AMD processors), not ARM64 or 32-bit x86.

Verifying checksums

Every release publishes a SHA256SUMS file alongside the installers.

macOS

shasum -a 256 -c SHA256SUMS --ignore-missing

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-FileHash .\mcl-<version>-windows-amd64.exe -Algorithm SHA256

Compare the printed hash with the matching entry in SHA256SUMS.

Automatic updates

Release builds include signed update manifests (update-<platform>-<arch>.json) and delta archives so installed launchers can check for and apply updates from GitHub Releases.
