Installing Fritzing
Windows
We tested Fritzing 1.0.5 on Windows 11.
For ARM CPUs, we tested it with Windows 11, 24H2.
To install Fritzing, run the downloaded installer file and follow the instructions.
It may ask for admin rights ("UAC") during the installation.
Please confirm this request by clicking "yes".
This will allow the installation of the Visual C++ Redistributable from Microsoft.
For 32 bit systems, as well as for Windows 8.1 and before, Fritzing 0.9.10 is the latest version.
Mac
We tested Fritzing 1.0.5 on macOS X Ventura and Sequioa.
It is supposed to work on macOS Sequoia, too.
To install Fritzing on your Mac, open the downloaded *.dmg file and move Fritzing to your
applications folder. You can then launch Fritzing from the applications folder.
For macOS Catalina, Fritzing 1.0.1 is the latest version.
For macOS High Sierra, Fritzing 0.9.10 is the latest version.
For macOS Sierra and El Capitan, Fritzing 0.9.3 is the latest version.
Linux
We created an AppImage that runs on most Linux systems. We tested it
on Ubuntu 22.04 and 24.04. It should run on any system with
glibc >= 2.31 (about 2020 and later). ARM based systems are not yet supported.
We recommend storing the AppImage in a Folder like $HOME/bin or $HOME/appimages.
To run the AppImage, add the executable permission to the file and start it.
On Ubuntu 22.04, the libfuse2 library needs to be installed to support AppImages:
apt install libfuse2
