Install Guide

First launch should feel boring. That is the point.

This page keeps the consumer path clear: download, approve macOS security once, choose bottle storage, then let Vector handle runtime setup and VecPatch sync.

Download Vector

Use the Distribution Centre. If the current channel only exposes runtime artefacts, wait for the signed app release pipeline to publish Vector.dmg or Vector.zip.

Open and approve macOS security

Move Vector to Applications. If Gatekeeper asks, open System Settings → Privacy & Security and approve Vector once.

Pick bottle storage

Create bottles on your internal drive or external storage. Fast SSD storage is strongly recommended for games.

Let Vector prepare runtimes

Vector downloads runtime payloads, checks Wine/wineserver consistency, installs missing dependencies, and syncs VecPatch rules.

Requirements

Apple Silicon Mac recommended
macOS 14 or newer recommended
Rosetta 2 installed for x86 Windows games
At least 20 GB free disk space for bottles and runtimes
A Steam/Epic/GOG account for owned games
