NC Litho · Docs

Windows 11

  1. Open the latest release.
  2. Download litho-<version>-windows-x64.msi. It fits most PCs (64-bit Intel and AMD).
  3. Run the file and follow the installer.
  4. Start Litho from the Start menu.

The release also has an arm64 installer for ARM PCs such as Snapdragon, and a 32-bit x86 installer. To run without installing, download litho-<version>-windows-x64-portable.zip (or the arm64 or x86 version), unzip it and start the program inside. The installers and executables are code-signed.

macOS

  1. Download litho-<version>-macos-universal.dmg. It works on Apple silicon and Intel Macs.
  2. Open it and drag Litho to Applications.

The app is signed and notarized.

Linux

File Notes
litho-<version>-linux-x86_64.AppImage Runs anywhere.
litho-<version>-linux-x86_64.flatpak Sandboxed. Install with flatpak install --user <file>.

For RISC-V there is a .deb, an .rpm and a tarball, named with riscv64 in place of x86_64. There is no AppImage or Flatpak for RISC-V. The RISC-V build needs glibc 2.39 or newer (Ubuntu 24.04 or newer). A FreeBSD build (litho-<version>-freebsd-x86_64.tar.gz) is on the release page too.
