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.

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.
