Prerequisites (Windows only)

For the time being, I am using a self-signed certificate to sign the Windows app installers. If you want to install a preview build, you will need to install my self-signed certificate (once) by following these steps:

• Download and double-click the certificate file: Compositor.cer
• Click “Install Certificate”
• Choose “Local Machine”
• Select “Place all certificates in the following store” → “Trusted People”
• Complete the wizard

Future production releases will use a standard code-signing certificate, so these steps will no longer be necessary.

Windows Installers

Compositor for Windows is distributed as an MSIX installer to provide a modern installation experience:

• Intel/AMD installer: Compositor-Windows-x64-0.9.1.msix
• ARM installer: Compositor-Windows-arm64-0.9.1.msix

(requires Windows 10 or newer)

macOS Installer

macOS builds are provided using the same codebase and versioning as the Windows version:

• macOS disk image: Compositor-macOS-0.9.1.dmg

(requires macOS 12.0 or newer)
