Download Zettlr for Linux (AppImage, arm64) Current Version: 3.3.1

Here you can download Zettlr for many different operating systems. We strive to offer it for as many platforms as possible. Due to community efforts, we are proud for being able to offer options for Homebrew, Chocolatey, and Arch Linux as well. Read what's new.

Your download should start automatically in a few seconds. If not, click here.

Regular installer packages

Which version do I need? Zettlr comes in two flavors for each platform: Regular 64bit packages, and ARM-based 64bit packages. If you own a regular 64bit computer, the ARM-version will not run, and vice versa, so make sure to download the correct package for your computer. A simple heuristic:
  • If you're on Linux, you most likely already know if you need the arm64-version and can skip this disclaimer
  • If you're using a Mac, it depends on the generation: Macs that have Apple Silicon chips (e.g., M1, M2) require arm64, Intel-based Macs require x64.
  • If in doubt, check the system information for your processor architecture (64bit processors often tell you that they are 'x86_64')

Further options

On macOS, you can install Zettlr using Homebrew. Just make sure, Homebrew is installed and then run the following line of code in a terminal window:

$ brew install --cask Zettlr

The Brew installer will grab the newest release from our official GitHub releases page. Thanks to GitHub user Tim Shadel for adding Zettlr to the Homebrew repository!

On Linux, you can install Zettlr as a FlatHub package. This requires FlatHub to be installed on your system. To install Zettlr via FlatHub, head over to Zettlr's store page:

Install Zettlr via FlatHub

The FlatHub releases will be built off the binaries from GitHub utilizing the code that is in this repository. Thanks to GitHub user Lunarequest for adding Zettlr to the FlatHub store!

On Windows, you can install Zettlr using Chocolatey. Install the Zettlr package by running the following line of code in a command window:

C:\> choco install zettlr

Please note that the Chocolatey repository is managed by a third-party, not by us. Thanks to mkevenaar for adding Zettlr there!

Zettlr binaries are also available for setup on Arch Linux as a regular package. Setup instructions.

These binaries are provided by third-party supporters who compile the app regularly. Make sure to double-check them before installing!

Beta Releases

Especially before bigger releases, we start beta phases in order to make sure to find as many bugs as possible before the actual release. Betas are a great way to experience new features and cutting edge functionality before most others, so if you're keen on getting the very latest versions, you can find potential beta releases directly on our GitHub releases page. You can also select "Notify me about beta releases" in the app's preferences to receive those beta releases like regular releases.

Nightly Releases

We also offer nightly releases. Nightlies are releases that are compiled right from the most recent changes in the codebase. This means: no release is more "cutting edge", but it also means there might be a lot of bugs in them. We recommend these releases for more advanced users who want to always have the most recent features.

Older Releases

Sometimes it might be necessary to temporarily downgrade to an older release. You can find those on our GitHub releases page as well. But please note that we do not support any older release, so do not install older releases unless you know what you're doing!
