Get them from the TalePainter page on HytaleTalk. The big download button is the Windows version, the other systems are linked in the description. The links are also on talepainter.net and in the Downloads channel on Discord.

Windows

1. Run the .msi.
2. The installer finishes without a message. That’s normal.
3. Open the Start menu and search for TalePainter.

“Windows protected your PC” / unknown publisher

The installer is not code-signed, so SmartScreen warns about an unknown publisher. Click More info, then Run anyway.

The installer disappears from Downloads

Your antivirus removed it (seen with McAfee). Add an exception for the file or pause the antivirus while you install.

macOS

Open the .dmg and drag TalePainter into Applications. Works on Apple Silicon and Intel Macs.

Caution

The .msi is Windows only. On a Mac it just unpacks into a folder of text files.

Linux

Pick the package that matches your distro, or use the .sh installer, which works on most systems.

# Ubuntu / Debian
sudo apt install ./talepainter_1.1.0-1_amd64.deb

# Fedora / CentOS / RHEL
sudo dnf install ./talepainter-1.1.0-1.x86_64.rpm

# any distro
sh talepainter-1.1.0-linux-x64-installer.sh

Updating

There is no auto-updater yet. Download the new version and install it over the old one.

If settings are missing after an update, uninstall TalePainter, delete the leftover TalePainter folders and install again.
