Installing Fritzing
Windows
We tested Fritzing 1.0.8 on Windows 11.
To install Fritzing, run the downloaded installer and follow the instructions.
The installer may ask for admin rights ("UAC"). Click "yes" to confirm.
This lets the installer add the Visual C++ Redistributable from Microsoft.
For ARM CPUs, the minimum requirement is Windows 11, 24H2.
For 32-bit systems, and for Windows 8.1 and earlier, Fritzing 0.9.10 is the latest version.
Mac
We tested Fritzing 1.0.8 on macOS 26 Tahoe.
Fritzing ships as a universal binary. It runs natively on Apple Silicon (M1, M2, M3, M4) and on Intel Macs.
To install Fritzing, open the downloaded *.dmg file and move Fritzing to your applications folder.
Then start 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 provide an AppImage that runs on most Linux systems. For x86-64 (Intel and AMD),
we tested it on Ubuntu 22.04 and 24.04. It runs on any system with
glibc 2.31 or newer (about 2020 and later).
We now also provide a Linux ARM (aarch64) AppImage. We tested it on Raspberry Pi OS Trixie,
so Fritzing runs on a Raspberry Pi. The ARM build needs glibc 2.39 or newer. Use Raspberry Pi OS
Trixie or another recent ARM distribution, not an older release.
Store the AppImage in a folder such as $HOME/bin or $HOME/appimages.
Add the executable permission to the file, then start it.
On Ubuntu 22.04, install the libfuse2 library to support AppImages:
apt install libfuse2
