Run Instructions
The apps are not signed yet, so your system will warn you the first time. It is safe to continue.
macOS
You'll need to remove the quarantine attribute so Gatekeeper allows execution, use Xattr-remove by perez987 or the command line:
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine "/Applications/Streets of Rage Builder.app"
Open the .dmg, drag Streets of Rage Builder to Applications, run the command above, then open the app.
Windows
- Download
StreetsOfRageBuilder-0.2.0-windows-x64.exe(or-windows-arm64.exeon ARM PCs such as Snapdragon). - Chrome and Edge may say the file "isn't commonly downloaded" or "could be dangerous". In the downloads list, open the
⋯menu next to the file and choose Keep, then Keep anyway (in Edge: Keep > Show more > Keep anyway). - Double-click the file. If Windows SmartScreen shows "Windows protected your PC", click More info, then Run anyway.
Linux
Download the AppImage for your CPU (x64 or arm64), then make it executable and run it:
chmod +x StreetsOfRageBuilder-0.2.0-linux-x64.AppImage
./StreetsOfRageBuilder-0.2.0-linux-x64.AppImage
Or right-click the file, open Properties > Permissions and tick Allow executing file as program, then double-click it. If it fails with a FUSE error, install libfuse2 (sudo apt install libfuse2; on Ubuntu 24.04 libfuse2t64) or run it with --appimage-extract-and-run.
