Which file should you pick?
Every type below occurs in the supplied release assets. Match the architecture label to your computer; do not assume an x64 package works on an ARM device. Each app's README controls its installation instructions and requirements.
| Type | Use | What to check |
|---|---|---|
.dmg | macOS desktop app | Universal builds cover Apple silicon and Intel. READMEs label these builds signed and notarized. |
.msi | Windows installer | x64, arm64 or x86; required privileges differ by app. |
-portable.zip | Windows portable build | Unpack and run; settings behavior is documented per app. |
.AppImage | Linux app without a package-manager installation | Processor architecture, executable permission and app-specific desktop integration. |
.AppImage.zsync | AppImage update data | A companion for AppImageUpdate, not the standalone app. |
.deb | Debian/Ubuntu package | Distribution and architecture compatibility. |
.rpm | Fedora/RHEL/openSUSE package | Distribution and architecture compatibility. |
.flatpak | Sandboxed Linux bundle | Runtime setup and sandbox behavior; the launcher has special limitations. |
.tar.gz | Linux or FreeBSD unpacked files | Runtime libraries and install steps. RISC-V builds have separate requirements. |
CLI .zip / .tar.gz | Command-line tool | Not the desktop installer; availability varies by app. |
Web .zip | Static WebAssembly build | Host on a static server. The launcher web build is a download catalog. |
For the suite, ArtCraft Launcher chooses packages automatically. For one app, its guide lists all current snapshotted files and links to the full README.
How to verify SHA256SUMS.txt
The snapshotted releases include SHA256SUMS.txt. Use it from the same official release as your installer.
- Download your chosen package and that release's checksum file from the official Releases page.
- Use a local SHA-256 hashing tool to calculate the digest of the downloaded package.
- Find the exact package filename in the checksum file and compare the full digest.
- If the digest differs, do not install that file. Download it again from the official source and investigate before proceeding.
A matching checksum checks that your file matches the published file; it does not establish that the software is bug-free. ArtCraft Launcher's README says it checks release SHA-256 digests before installing.
No hashing commands are reproduced here because the supplied READMEs do not provide a general cross-platform checksum command.
Beware of unofficial download sites
Use getartcraft.com and the app's repository under github.com/storytold. Check the address before downloading. Avoid repackaged installers or sites that ask you to install extra software to obtain a Crafting App.
Read platform warnings in the app's README. This guide does not mirror binaries, certify downloads or promise that alpha software is ready for your workflow.
