### Mac
[](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/whalebird/id1378283354)
Or you can download `.dmg` from [release page](https://github.com/h3poteto/whalebird-desktop/releases).
So on, you can install from Homebrew:
```
$ brew update
$ brew install --cask whalebird
```
:sparkles: Thanks to [@singingwolfboy](https://github.com/singingwolfboy) for adding it to [homebrew-cask](https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask/blob/cf568882b6e012956ca404a16be2db36ca873002/Casks/whalebird.rb).
### Linux
There are some packages in [release page](https://github.com/h3poteto/whalebird-desktop/releases), for example `.deb`, `.rpm` and `.AppImage`.
If you do not want to use the package manager, please download `.tar.bz2` file and decompress it.
If you are using snap, please install from [snapcraft.io](https://snapcraft.io/whalebird).
```
$ sudo snap install whalebird
```
Or you can install from [Arch User Repository](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/whalebird/).
```
$ yay -S whalebird
```
### Windows
We prepared winget package and `.exe` [files](https://github.com/h3poteto/whalebird-desktop/releases), **but we don't recommend these ways**.
Because these binary is not code signed, so you will get warnings when you launch. Only Windows Store version is signed, so please use it.
```
$ winget show "Whalebird" --versions
```
## Translation
If you can speak multiple languages, could you please help with translation in [Crowdin](https://crowdin.com/project/whalebird-desktop)?
