Then to install Vintage Story, in the [https://account.vintagestory.at/ Client Area] select the '''Mac OS App'''. Download that, then when it has finished, in your Downloads folder, double-click the file you downloaded (normally ending with .tar) to Unarchive it. This creates <code>vintagestory.app</code> in your Downloads folder.

Which game version to download? | Which game version to download? For Macs, we recommend 1.19.2-stable or later, which has been specifically made for easier installation on macOS: the latest (1.19.4-stable as of February 2024) is better still. To see other versions click on [https://account.vintagestory.at/#otherversions (Show all available downloads and mirrors of Vintage Story)] and you can choose between Stable and Unstable tabs. If you want to play multiplayer on a server which is still running game version 1.18.15 (for example) then you would need to install Vintage Story version 1.18.15 of course and follow the additional installation steps described [[Installing_the_game_on_MacOS#Versions_prior_to_1.19.0:_set_up_using_Homebrew|below]] if required. Bear in mind that game versions prior to 1.19.0 may have other issues on some Macs for example the red sky issue. | ||
