# How to install
 | 
						|
**Windows**: 
 | 
						|
1.  Unzip the binaries to any folder you prefer, then execute orca-slicer.exe to start the application.  
 | 
						|
    - *If you have troubles to run the build, you might need to install following runtimes:*
 | 
						|
      - [MicrosoftEdgeWebView2RuntimeInstallerX64](https://github.com/SoftFever/BambuStudio-SoftFever/releases/download/v1.0.10-sf2/MicrosoftEdgeWebView2RuntimeInstallerX64.exe)

						|

 | 
						|
2. Double click to unzip the package, move OrcaSlicer.app to Application folder.  
 | 
						|
3. The app is signed but not notarized at the moment due to the proptiery network plugin.  
 | 
						|
    We have two options to make it run on our machines  
 | 
						|
  - Option 1:  
 | 
						|
    Execute this command in terminal: `xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/OrcaSlicer.app`
 | 
						|
     ```console
 | 
						|
        softfever@mac:~$ xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/OrcaSlicer.app
 | 
						|
    ```
 | 
						|
  - Option 2:  
 | 
						|
      - Step 1: open the app, a warning window will pop up  
 | 
						|
            
 | 
						|
      - Step 2: in `System Settings` -> `Privacy & Security`, click `Open Anyway`:  
 | 
						|
            
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
**Linux(Ubuntu)**:
 | 
						|
 1. If you run into trouble to execute it, try this command in terminal:  
 | 
						|
    `chmod +x /path_to_appimage/OrcaSlicer_ubu64.AppImage`
 | 
						|
