Simply download the latest win-x64.exe file from the releases page and run the installer. You might need to approve installation of unsigned installer. This will only be required until we have a signed release available.
For Linux, we decided to use the new AppImage installer format. This is included in a lot of Linux distributions, including Ubuntu.

$ chmod a+x City.*.AppImage
