SolidCraft is free and every installer comes from the project's GitHub releases page. Use the picker above: it detects your system and links to the latest release, so the link keeps working as new versions ship. The project releases very often (about 25 tags between 9 and 15 October 2026), so expect to update regularly. At the time of writing the newest version was v0.13.1, released on 15 October 2026.

"Windows protected your PC" warning: the installer is not signed yet, so SmartScreen stops it the first time. Click More info, then Run anyway.
macOS
Download solidcraft-macos-universal.dmg. It is one universal build for both Apple silicon and Intel Macs. Open the disk image and drag SolidCraft into Applications.
"Cannot be opened" or "unidentified developer" warning: the Mac app is ad-hoc signed and not notarized. Right-click (or Control-click) SolidCraft in Applications and choose Open, then confirm. You only need to do this once.
If you used the old name before, move SolveCraft.app to the Trash after installing.
The command-line tool for Mac comes as a separate file, solidcraft-cli-<version>-macos-universal.zip, on the release page. You need it for the MCP server.
Linux
SolidCraft has builds for x86_64 and ARM64 (aarch64):
- AppImage: download it, make it executable (
chmod +x solidcraft-linux-x86_64.AppImage) and run it. On first launch it adds a menu entry. To stop that, create~/.local/share/solidcraft/no-desktop-integrationor setSOLIDCRAFT_NO_DESKTOP_INTEGRATION=1. - .deb / .rpm: install with your package manager as usual.
- Snap:
sudo snap install solidcraft
sudo snap connect solidcraft:removable-media
The second line lets it read USB drives and other mounted disks. The command-line tool is available as solidcraft.cli.
- Flatpak (from the project's own repository, not Flathub):
flatpak remote-add --user --if-not-exists flathub https://dl.flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
flatpak remote-add --user --if-not-exists solidcraft https://bherbruck.github.io/solidcraft/flatpak/solidcraft.flatpakrepo
flatpak install --user solidcraft ai.storyteller.solidcraft
flatpak run ai.storyteller.solidcraft
There is also a FreeBSD x86_64 tarball on the release page.
No install: the browser version
If you can't install software, for example on a managed work laptop, use the web build. Launch it at the top of this page, or open it full screen. In the browser, Save writes to the browser's private storage, so use download/export to keep a real copy. FreeCAD and Rhino import and the built-in agent chat are desktop-only.
If SolidCraft won't start
- Black window or very slow: your GPU driver is missing or old. Update it. You can force a graphics backend with
WGPU_BACKEND=dx12,vulkanorgl. - Crashes on launch: start it with
solidcraft --safe-mode, or runsolidcraft --crash-logto see what went wrong.
Build from source
You need stable Rust 1.95 or newer:
git clone https://github.com/bherbruck/solidcraft
cd solidcraft
cargo run --release -p solidcraft -- --sample
Once it is installed, follow the SolidCraft tutorial to make your first part.
