Compare the downloaded file with SHA256SUMS.txt from the same release. A matching checksum verifies integrity, not safety. SHA256SUMS.txt
On a Mac, the universal DMG works on Apple silicon and Intel. On Windows, match x64, ARM64, or x86 where the release provides it. Choose MSI to install, or the portable ZIP if you only want to unzip it. On Linux, match x86_64 or aarch64, then pick the package your system uses. Other files and the checksum list are on Releases.
macOS
Open the DMG and follow its window. If it shows an Applications link, drag the app onto that link, then open it from Applications. If macOS warns you, read that version's notes before you continue.
Windows
For MSI, open the installer and follow its prompts. For portable ZIP, extract the archive into a folder you can write to, then open the app executable inside. A ZIP viewed without extraction is not an installed application.
Linux
For AppImage, give the downloaded file execute permission and launch it. For .deb / .rpm, use your distribution’s package installer. A Flatpak bundle can be installed with the command below; approve the runtime only after checking its source. Tarballs are for manual extraction. Check runtime and GPU requirements before launch.
flatpak install --user wordcraft-0.8.0-linux-x86_64.flatpakDownload and install
- Confirm storytold / the app name on GitHub, read release notes and choose from Assets. Source code is for building, not a ready-to-run installer.
- Match the system and CPU. When supplied, compare the file with SHA256SUMS.txt from the same release before opening. A matching checksum checks integrity, not overall software safety.
- Follow the official installation or extraction procedure. Keep system protections enabled. Start with a copy of a non-sensitive document and check the application version after launch.
If installation or launch fails
This is the storytold word processor, not a word game or a separate AI writing service. The developers describe DirectX 12 and graphics-driver startup issues on Windows and a WGPU_BACKEND override for troubleshooting. Follow the matching release documentation rather than copying another app’s fix. Complex DOCX pagination and chart preservation still need checking.
If a file is missing, check the current Releases page. If the package type is wrong, match your processor and system. Review the official version notes if your system warns you. Do not open a file whose checksum does not match.
