What the installer does
Windows
- Delivered as a Windows Installer package built with WiX (.msi) for x64.
- Installs for all users on the PC, which normally requires administrator rights.
- No custom silent switch is declared; winget falls back to its default for this installer type (
/quiet /norestart). - Declared install modes: interactive, silent, and silentWithProgress.
- Needs this winget package first:
Microsoft.VCRedist.2015+.x64. - Upgrades install over the existing version.
Overview
Alacritty is a modern terminal emulator that comes with sensible defaults, but allows for extensive configuration. By integrating with other applications, rather than reimplementing their functionality, it manages to provide a flexible set of features with high performance. The supported platforms currently consist of BSD, Linux, macOS and Windows.

We host no installers. Every download link goes to its original source. For this software we downloaded the files from that source ourselves, re-computed each checksum and checked the code signature where our tools could, as shown above. A passing check shows a file is the one that was published; it is not a guarantee it is free of problems. For more information, visit our Security and Trust Center.

Alacritty FAQ
Is Alacritty safe to download from here?
We host no installers. Every download button goes to the original source, and the checks below were run on those files.
On 2026-11-04 we downloaded the latest installer from those sources and re-computed the SHA-256: it matches the package catalog’s value. Code signatures: 0 valid, 1 not signed.
VirusTotal: none of its 61 security engines flagged the scanned file.
Our rating: Safe. No check is a guarantee. See the security details above and our Security and Trust Center. Publisher’s website: Alacritty’s official website.
Does Alacritty update itself after I install an old version?
We cannot say for certain. We do not have data on whether Alacritty updates itself, and many apps check for updates and offer to install them. Look for an update setting in Alacritty (see Alacritty’s documentation) before you rely on an older version.
Does Alacritty cost anything?
No. Alacritty is free and open source (license: Apache-2.0).
Which versions of Alacritty are listed here, and how far back?
We list 19 versions, from 0.4.3 up to 0.17.0. This page shows all of them.
Where do the download links go?
They go straight to the source named in the package catalog, with nothing added by us: to github.com. We host no files. Compare the SHA-256 shown next to each file with the one you compute after downloading. Publisher’s website: Alacritty’s official website.
