3. Downloading & Installing

Intent Architect can run on Windows, macOS, and Linux; download links are available on the downloads page of our website.

Installation (Windows)

Simply run the digitally signed .exe file which is a one-click installer that will install Intent Architect and then run it immediately afterward.

Tip

To avoid issues with long paths we strongly recommend enabling long path support.

Tip

To ensure Intent Architect can run the Software Factory as quickly as possible, we highly recommend reviewing Environmental factors which can slow down Software Factory execution.

Installation (macOS)

Simply open the .dmg file and drag Intent Architect into the Applications folder.

Installation (Linux)

For Linux, we recommend downloading the AppImage package format option which is able to run on any common Linux-based operating system (Ubuntu, Debian, openSUSE, RHEL, CentOS, Fedora, etc.).

Although not essential, the easiest way to use AppImages is to first install AppImageLauncher which makes using AppImages seamless and also enables integration with your desktop environment, for example, it will "install" AppImages such that they appear in your desktop environment's list of Applications.

If you just want to run Intent Architect without "installing" it, you can just set the downloaded file to be executable by running chmod a+x intent-architect*.AppImage after which you can then run it.
