Below are the instructions for downloading and installing HighLite on various operating systems. If you encounter any issues or need assistance, feel free to create a support ticket in the official Discord server.
Windows

.exe
file from the latest release.- Don't know what to download? See Example

- You will be prompted by the game client when launching to automatically install any future updates!
In Microsoft Edge, you may recieve a download warning due to HighLite not being commonly downloaded. You can typically resolve this by clicking "..." and selecting "Keep".
HighLite is currently un-signed due to the inherent cost of obtaining signing certificates for software. This results in install and download warnings. If they receive enough players (or complaints!) they will invest in obtaining certificates. You can resolve this by clicking "More Info" and pressing "Run anyway".
MacOS

MacOS builds go largely untested so they may be more prone to buggy behavior.
Linux

.AppImage
file from the latest release.- Don't know what to download? See Example
