    Installation

    ↗ View as Markdown

    Download and install V3Code on macOS, Windows, or Linux.

    Grab the latest build from v3code.dev/download. The page always lists the newest public build; the current release is 1.4.9-0098.

    Apple Silicon (M-series)

    Section titled “Apple Silicon (M-series)”
    1. Download the .zip and open it — it unpacks to V3Code.app.
    2. Drag V3Code.app into Applications.
    3. Launch it. The app is signed and notarized by Apple’s process, so it opens without any security warnings.

    Intel Macs

    Section titled “Intel Macs”

    Intel Macs use the same .zip flow. Download the Mac · Intel build, replace the existing V3Code.app in Applications, then open it. The Intel build is signed and notarized, but updates are currently manual: return to the download page when a new version is announced.

    Windows 10 / 11, x64.

    1. Download the current Windows x64 installer.
    2. Double-click it and follow the installer prompts.
    3. Launch V3Code from the Start menu.

    The installer is code-signed. To inspect it, right-click the .exe, choose Properties, then open Digital Signatures.

    x64, early beta.

    Download the .tar.gz, extract it, then launch the included executable:

    Terminal window
    tar -xzf V3Code-linux-x64-*.tar.gz
    ./VSCode-linux-x64/bin/v3code

    Linux is early access. It does not auto-update; download and extract a new archive when you want to update. Keep your existing archive until the new one opens normally.

    Updates

    Section titled “Updates”

    Apple Silicon Macs and Windows x64 check the stable update channel and prompt you to restart when an update is ready. The update uses the same signed release path as the installer.

    Intel Macs and Linux x64 use manual downloads today. Use the platform card on the download page, quit V3Code, then replace the app or extract the new Linux archive. This does not require deleting your existing project or settings.

    I do not see an update

    Section titled “I do not see an update”
    1. Compare the version shown in V3Code with the version on the download page.
    2. Quit V3Code and download the current installer or archive for your platform. Running the Windows installer or replacing V3Code.app is a safe manual route if an automatic prompt did not appear.
    3. If the download page lists a newer build but the update still will not apply, email support@v3code.dev with your operating system, CPU (Apple Silicon, Intel, Windows x64, or Linux x64), installed version, and a screenshot of any update message. Do not include API keys, account tokens, or project files.
