If you run into issues, found a bug, want to suggest a feature or ask for help with something, take a look at the help pages!
Note 1: If you don't know whether you have an Apple Silicon Mac or an Intel Mac, take a look at Apple's help page about that.
Note 2: On macOS, you will probably get a message saying that Drawpile could not be opened because we are not verified by Apple. To get rid of this, we'd have to pay them money. See these installation instructions on how to open it anyway.
Linux

Flatpak comes pre-installed on some Linux distributions and is generally easy to set up. Take a look at the Flathub setup page for how to install it. It does not include the dedicated server or command-line tools. The AppImage is self-contained, but needs to be downloaded and updated manually. To find out how to use it take a look at the AppImage manual and troubleshooting page. It includes the client, server and command line tools, run it with --help to see what's included.
If you want to set up a server on Linux, take a look at the dedicated server help page.

Android

Getting Drawpile on F-Droid is recommended over using the APK directly. It will install the correct version for your device automatically and you don't need to manually download updates with it.
If you run into issues, found a bug, want to suggest a feature or ask for help with something, take a look at the help pages!
APKs for 32 bit and Android 10 and older are available under Extras.
Note: For the APK, you have to enable apps from unknown sources. How exactly this works depends on your device, but it should be in the settings somewhere. To get rid of this, we'd have to pay Google money.
Web

The Web Browser version of Drawpile should work on all operating systems and most browsers. It's the same applications as the desktop and mobile versions. For iPad and iPhone, it's the only option available because Apple doesn't allow Drawpile in its store.
When you invite someone to your session on a server that supports it, the invite page will automatically show them the option to join via browser. You don't need to link them this page.
If you have your own server and want to enable connecting to it via the browser, take a look at the WebSocket server setup page.
