Which Installer Should I Use?
Follow our guidelines below, or see Compare Desktop v4 vs v6 and Large Scale Deployments for additional information.
- macOS users: We recommend v4 for now, as v6 does not yet support Finder integration (coming soon). Otherwise, download the latest version's DMG installer for self-managed setups, or, for Enterprise IT teams implementing large-scale deployments, use the PKG installer.
- Windows users: Download the latest version's EXE installer for self-managed setups, or, for Enterprise IT teams implementing large-scale deployments, use the MSI installer.
