# Windows desktop client

Want MineGeo in its own window? The Windows app plays the same online game as the website.

## Get the app

1. Open [Downloads](https://minegeo.vercel.app/downloads).
2. Choose the **Windows x64** download.
3. When it finishes, open the downloaded MineGeo file. You can usually find it in your Downloads folder.
4. Play as a guest or sign in to your account.

There is no installation wizard. You need an internet connection. The current app is for Windows; on Mac or Linux, use the website instead.

## A Windows warning?

The current app may show an unknown-publisher warning. Download it only from MineGeo's official Downloads page. If you are unsure about the warning, use the website or ask support for help.

## Updates and sign-in

Website changes appear when the app reloads. When a new desktop app is released, download the new version from Downloads.

The app remembers your sign-in on that computer. Choose **Sign out** when using a shared computer. Removing the downloaded app file does not automatically sign you out.

## If it will not open the game

Check your internet connection and try [MineGeo in your browser](https://minegeo.vercel.app). Tell support whether both versions fail or only the app.
