We host no installers. Every download link goes to the download location named in the package listing, normally the publisher’s own server. 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.

Stellarium FAQ
Is Stellarium safe to download from here?
We host no installers. Every download button goes to the download location named in the package listing, and the checks below were run on those files.
On 2026-11-08 we downloaded the latest 3 installers from those sources and re-computed the SHA-256 of each: 3 of 3 match the package catalog’s value. Code signatures: 2 valid, 1 not applicable (archives and similar).
VirusTotal: none of its 67 security engines flagged any of the 3 scanned files.
Reports exist for 3 of 4 files, so the rating does not cover the rest.
Our rating: Safe so far. No check is a guarantee. See the security details above and our Security and Trust Center. Publisher’s website: Stellarium’s official website.
Does Stellarium update itself after I install an old version?
For Windows, we have no information on whether Stellarium updates itself, and for Mac, we have no confirmation that the app updates itself, although many apps check for updates and offer to install them. Look for an update setting in Stellarium (see Stellarium’s documentation) before you rely on an older version.
Does Stellarium cost anything?
No. Stellarium is free and open source (license: GPL-2.0).
Which versions of Stellarium are listed here, and how far back?
For Windows, we list 47 versions, from 0.13.1 up to 26.3, and for Mac, only the current release (26.3) is listed, because older Mac builds are not kept in the package listing, and for Linux, we list 1 version, from 26.3 (2026-09-28) up to 26.3. This page shows the newest 20 Windows versions; the JSON and Markdown files for this app list all 47 Windows versions.
Where do the download links go?
They go straight to the source named in the package catalog, with nothing added by us: for Windows, to github.com, and for Mac, to github.com, and for Linux, to dl.flathub.org. We host no files. Compare the SHA-256 shown next to each file with the one you compute after downloading. Publisher’s website: Stellarium’s official website.
