Windows Installation

  1. Download Luna Browser for Windows.
  2. Extract the entire ZIP file into its own folder.
  3. Open Luna Browser.exe. Keep the native subfolder beside it.
  4. If Windows displays “Windows protected your PC”, click More info, then Run anyway.
  5. Follow the setup steps in Luna.

To update an existing installation, close Luna first, extract the new version into a new folder, and open its Luna Browser.exe. Your saved settings remain in your user profile.

macOS Installation

For Macs with Apple Silicon running macOS 13 or later:

  1. Open Terminal (search for “Terminal” using Spotlight).
  2. Copy this entire command, paste it into Terminal, and press Return:
installer=$(mktemp) && trap 'rm -f "$installer"' EXIT && curl --fail --location --proto '=https' --proto-redir '=https' https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fcore247/luna-browser/main/docs/install.sh -o "$installer" && /bin/bash "$installer"
  1. In the Finder window that opens, drag Luna Browser into Applications. If Luna is already installed, quit it first and choose Replace.
  2. Keep Terminal open until installation finishes. Luna will then start automatically.
  3. Follow the setup steps in Luna.

The installer verifies the download checksum and app signature. The macOS download includes a DMG with drag-and-drop installation.

Luna Browser 1.3.2

  • After more than 48 hours, Luna shows a small “Enjoying Luna?” button (“Gefällt dir Luna?” in German).
  • Only after positive feedback does Luna offer a link to give the project a GitHub star.
  • The × button is available in both steps. It closes the request immediately without opening GitHub or requiring a star, and Luna will not ask again. This choice is saved locally and survives restarts.
  • The prompt supports English and German. Timing and dismissal stay on your device.

Automatic updates: signed updates are available for macOS and Windows. Luna checks periodically; you can also check manually in the app. Windows support remains experimental: extract the complete ZIP and keep the native folder beside Luna Browser.exe.

Change: PR #8.

Validation: production frontend build, the five focused Playwright tests and an additional second-step dismissal/restart check passed locally. Both platforms are built and tested together in GitHub Actions.
