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. ## Windows ### What the installer does - 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. ### Versions (newest first) #### 0.17.0 — 2026-04-06 - x64 wix (machine): Alacritty-v0.17.0-installer.msi - url: https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty/releases/download/v0.17.0/Alacritty-v0.17.0-installer.msi -
