# Downloads and updates

## Get the official build

Open the [Nock download page](https://v3code.dev/nock/download). This is the stable entry point for available installers. Choose a build only when the page lists it for your operating system and computer.

**Launch preview:** public downloads are still being prepared. A **Coming soon** message is expected until a release is published. Do not substitute a V3Code editor or terminal installer; they are separate products.

## Platform support

Nock's desktop setup includes operating-system permissions and local helpers. Availability on one platform does not imply identical capabilities on another. Follow the requirements next to the released installer; these docs do not promise that every preview feature is available on every platform.

The account interface may contain a download button before an installer is published. The destination download page remains the place to check actual availability.

## Updating an installed preview

When a released app offers an update, finish or save your current work before installing it. Keep a note of the version you were running if you are investigating a regression.

If no update appears, revisit the official download page. An update cannot be offered until a build has been published for your platform. Avoid deleting your settings or reinstalling repeatedly to force an unpublished release to appear.

## Report a download problem

Include your operating system, computer architecture if known, installed Nock version, the download URL, and the exact message you see. Say whether the failure occurs before download, while opening the installer, or after starting Nock. Do not include account tokens or private project content.

See [Availability](/nock/availability) for launch status and [Troubleshooting](/nock/troubleshooting) for setup checks.
