Getting a "can't verify the developer" warning?

If you see a warning on first launch, go to System Settings > Privacy & Security and click "Open Anyway". Open source software usually isn't signed with an Apple developer certificate, which is normal.

Clicking "Download" takes you to a source confirmation page first; the download starts after confirmation.

Install guide

Download the archive matching your operating system and CPU architecture:

Windows x64: Godot_v4.7.1-stable_win64.exe.zip
Windows x86: Godot_v4.7.1-stable_win32.exe.zip
Windows ARM64: Godot_v4.7.1-stable_windows_arm64.exe.zip
macOS (Universal for Intel and Apple Silicon): Godot_v4.7.1-stable_macos.universal.zip
Linux x64: Godot_v4.7.1-stable_linux.x86_64.zip (for other architectures, choose the corresponding linux.arm64, linux.x86_32, or linux.arm32 file)

If you plan to develop with C# (Mono), download the version with mono in the filename, such as Godot_v4.7.1-stable_mono_win64.zip or Godot_v4.7.1-stable_mono_macos.universal.zip.

Extract the zip file to a local directory.
Run the executable after extraction:

Windows: Double-click Godot_v4.7.1-stable_win64.exe (or the corresponding exe).
macOS: Double-click Godot.app or run open Godot.app in Terminal.
Linux: Run ./Godot_v4.7.1-stable_linux.x86_64 in Terminal, or double-click it in your file manager.

On first launch, macOS may show a warning that the app cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified. This is a standard security prompt. You can right-click the app and select "Open", or allow it in System Settings → Privacy & Security under "Allow applications from App Store and identified developers". If it still won't open, run xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine Godot.app in Terminal and try again.

To export to other platforms, you also need to download the corresponding export templates (Godot_v4.7.1-stable_export_templates.tpz) and install them via the Export Template Manager in the editor.

FAQ

Is this game engine free?

Yes, Godot Engine is completely free, open-source under the MIT license. You can use it freely, including for commercial purposes, without paying licensing fees or royalties.

What operating systems are supported?

Officially, editor versions are available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Games can be exported to desktop, mobile, web, and some console platforms.

What is the difference between the standard and Mono versions?

The standard version focuses on GDScript, starts faster, and requires no additional runtime. The Mono version supports C# scripting, making it suitable for teams using .NET. To use C#, you need to download the Mono version and install the .NET SDK.

How do I update to a new version after downloading?

Simply download the new editor archive and replace the old files. Project files are usually backward compatible, but it's recommended to back up your projects before updating.

How do I verify the integrity of downloaded files?

The download page provides a `SHA512-SUMS.txt` checksum file. You can compare the hash values using `sha512sum` (Linux/macOS) or `Get-FileHash` (Windows PowerShell) in your terminal.
