# Latest Release: v0.12.0 (March 27, 2022)
[Change History](/guidebook/changes.html)
## Windows
The Microsoft™ Windows release of _Sketchy Maze_ currently comes as a ZIP
file that you can extract anywhere and then run the `sketchymaze.exe` program to
start the game.
**Note:** I do not yet have a code signing certificate for the Windows release,
so you may need to click through the "Unknown Publisher" dialog.
* **64-bit:** [sketchymaze-0.12.0-windows-64bit.zip](https://download.sketchymaze.com/release/v0.12.0/windows/sketchymaze-0.12.0-windows-64bit.zip) (23 MB)
* **32-bit:** [sketchymaze-0.12.0-windows-32bit.zip](https://download.sketchymaze.com/release/v0.12.0/windows/sketchymaze-0.12.0-windows-32bit.zip) (23 MB)

## Mac OS (Intel)
The macOS release of _Sketchy Maze_ comes in two varieties: a traditional
"Sketchy Maze.app" in a .dmg file or a form similar to Windows and Linux with a
ZIP file that you can extract anywhere and run the `sketchymaze` program to start
the game.
**Note:** I do not yet have a code signing certificate for the macOS release;
you're expected to know how to run apps from unverified developers. See
[Apple's documentation](https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/open-a-mac-app-from-an-unidentified-developer-mh40616/11.0/mac/11.0)
how to do this for your version of macOS.
* **Intel 64-bit App:** [sketchymaze-0.12.0-macOS-x64.dmg](https://download.sketchymaze.com/release/v0.12.0/macos/sketchymaze-0.12.0-macOS-x64.dmg) (32 MB)
* **Zip file for Intel Macs:** [sketchymaze-0.12.0-macos-x64.zip](https://download.sketchymaze.com/release/v0.12.0/macos/sketchymaze-0.12.0-macos-x64.zip) (22 MB)

## GNU/Linux
### Flatpak (All Distros)
The easiest cross-distro way to download _Sketchy Maze_ is via [Flatpak](https://flatpak.org/),
which is well supported on most popular Linux distributions including Fedora, Ubuntu,
Debian and others.
* **64-bit:** [sketchy-maze-0.12.0.flatpak](https://download.sketchymaze.com/release/v0.12.0/linux/sketchy-maze-0.12.0.flatpak) (13.1 MB)
* **ARM aarch64:** [sketchy-maze-0.12.0-aarch64.flatpak](https://download.sketchymaze.com/release/v0.12.0/linux/sketchy-maze-0.12.0-aarch64.flatpak) (13.1 MB)
There is not a Flatpak repository for this game yet; inclusion on
[Flathub](https://flathub.org/) or a custom Flatpak repository for easier
install/updates is being considered.
To install the Flatpak manually:
```bash
# Download the .flatpak package. NOTE: it's distributed as a stand-alone app
# for now, a flatpak repo will be added at some point.
$ wget https://download.sketchymaze.com/release/v0.12.0/linux/sketchy-maze-0.12.0.flatpak
# Install the .flatpak package.
$ flatpak install --user sketchy-maze-0.12.0.flatpak
# Run it. There should also be a standard app launcher in your menu.
$ flatpak run com.sketchymaze.Doodle
```
### Fedora (.rpm)
* **64-bit:** [sketchy-maze-0.12.0-1.x86_64.rpm](https://download.sketchymaze.com/release/v0.12.0/linux/sketchy-maze-0.12.0-1.x86_64.rpm) (21 MB)
* **32-bit:** [sketchy-maze-0.12.0-1.i386.rpm](https://download.sketchymaze.com/release/v0.12.0/linux/sketchy-maze-0.12.0-1.i386.rpm) (21 MB)
* **ARM aarch64:** [sketchy-maze-0.12.0-1.aarch64.rpm](https://download.sketchymaze.com/release/v0.12.0/linux/sketchy-maze-0.12.0-1.aarch64.rpm) (21 MB)
### Ubuntu & Debian (.deb)
* **64-bit:** [sketchy-maze_0.12.0_amd64.deb](https://download.sketchymaze.com/release/v0.12.0/linux/sketchy-maze_0.12.0_amd64.deb) (21 MB)
* **32-bit:** [sketchy-maze_0.12.0_i386.deb](https://download.sketchymaze.com/release/v0.12.0/linux/sketchy-maze_0.12.0_i386.deb) (21 MB)
* **ARM aarch64:** [sketchy-maze_0.12.0_arm64.deb](https://download.sketchymaze.com/release/v0.12.0/linux/sketchy-maze_0.12.0_arm64.deb) (21 MB)
**Notice:** the game depends on SDL2, SDL2-ttf and SDL2-mixer but the .deb package doesn't declare these
dependencies for compatibility between Debian and Ubuntu which name these packages distinctly.
### Tarball
You can download _Sketchy Maze_ as a `.tar.gz` archive which you can extract
anywhere and run. The binary is built on a modern Fedora system and _hopefully_
should run as-is on other modern GNU/Linux systems, but sometimes shared library
versions of SDL2 may not match your computer.
* **64-bit:** [sketchymaze-0.12.0-linux-64bit.tar.gz](https://download.sketchymaze.com/release/v0.12.0/linux/sketchymaze-0.12.0-linux-64bit.tar.gz)
* **32-bit:** [sketchymaze-0.12.0-linux-32bit.tar.gz](https://download.sketchymaze.com/release/v0.12.0/linux/sketchymaze-0.12.0-linux-32bit.tar.gz)
* **ARM aarch64:** [sketchymaze-0.12.0-linux-aarch64.tar.gz](https://download.sketchymaze.com/release/v0.12.0/linux/sketchymaze-0.12.0-linux-aarch64.tar.gz)
_Sketchy Maze_ also works on Linux smartphone devices such as the Pinephone and Librem 5.
Check out the aarch64 releases, built on Mobian
testing (bookworm). The .deb package works best on Mobian!
