download questions
Yes: the core and the eight bundled plugins are free, with no account. Paid options — a Pro model, a plugin store — belong to the plans for after the public release, and there are no prices for them yet.
On Windows, run The-0.10.1-setup.exe. On macOS, open the .dmg and drag The into Applications. Separate app-store packages will arrive with the release.
The installer carries no code-signing certificate yet, so a browser has no download reputation to go on and says exactly that. The warning is about the missing signature, not about the contents of the file. Check it yourself: Get-FileHash The-0.10.1-setup.exe in PowerShell prints the SHA-256 above, character for character.
Apple menu → About This Mac. A Chip line starting with Apple M means the -arm.dmg; a Processor line with Intel means the -x86_64.dmg.
Not yet. Windows and macOS are supported; the core does not depend on platform GUI, but no public Linux build exists.
