# Installing on macOS

> Step-by-step installation guide for Duels+ on macOS

## Download the Launcher

1. Navigate to the [latest release](https://github.com/duelsplus/launcher-tauri/releases/latest/)
2. Under **Assets**, download the file ending in `.dmg` (`Duels+.Launcher_X.X.X_aarch64.dmg `)

## Install the Launcher

Once the file is downloaded, double‑click the `.dmg` file to open it.

In the Finder window that opens, drag the **Duels+ Launcher** into the **Applications** folder.

## Open the Launcher

<Warning>macOS flags unsigned apps as quarantined, and we [cannot afford](https://developer.apple.com/support/compare-memberships/#:~:text=Enrollment%20is%2099%20USD%20\(or%20in%20local%20currency%20where%20available\)%20per%20membership%20year.) an Apple Developer Account.</Warning>

macOS will most likely display a **"Duels+ Launcher" cannot be opened because it is from an unidentified developer.** warning and prevent the launcher from opening.

To fix that, open the terminal and execute this command:

```bash Terminal theme={null}
xattr -d com.apple.quarantine "/Applications/Duels+ Launcher.app"
```

You can now open the launcher normally.

## Sign in

To proceed, the launcher will ask you to sign in using your Duels+ account. You can either:

* Continue using Discord
* Enter your verification token

## Launch Duels+

Finish the onboarding. Once you're in the "Home" tab, press **Launch** and the launcher will *automatically* download the latest Duels+ proxy release.
