  ![](https://help.videoscribe.co/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Sep-30-2025-09-04-04-6420-AM.png?width=670&height=394&name=image-png-Sep-30-2025-09-04-04-6420-AM.png)
- Click on either ‘**Download for MacOS (Apple Silicon)**' or '**Download for MacOS (Intel)**', depending upon which processor your Mac uses
  
  **Top tip:** You can check which processor you have by clicking the Apple icon ![](https://help.videoscribe.co/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/lh5.googleusercontent.comVU6Sk8uA2vN3J4G8FAKTszA5XOLAnmNfO7Qf_WLGEUkFvbDC8dx8oE4tGyw0156bhkSKf2c8mtT1mw8KKvD65nwyV6vZcxn5RuiU-t15pU7JNwhkD8z5DPw902y.png?width=14&height=18&name=lh5.googleusercontent.comVU6Sk8uA2vN3J4G8FAKTszA5XOLAnmNfO7Qf_WLGEUkFvbDC8dx8oE4tGyw0156bhkSKf2c8mtT1mw8KKvD65nwyV6vZcxn5RuiU-t15pU7JNwhkD8z5DPw902y.png) in the top left of your screen, and then selecting '**About**':
  
    - **Intel Mac:** You will see an item labelled “Processor”, followed by the name of the Intel processor.
    - **Apple Silicon Mac:** You will see an item labelled “Chip”, followed by the name of the Apple silicon chip (e.g., Apple M1, M2, etc.).
- Go to your Downloads folder and double-click on the **VideoScribe-x.x.x.dmg** file (where "x.x.x" is the app's version number)
  
  **Note:** If you get an error when double-clicking on the .dmg file, try Ctrl-clicking on it instead, and select ‘**Open**’ from the menu.
- Next, drag and drop the VideoScribe App icon onto the Applications folder
  
  ![](https://help.videoscribe.co/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Sep-30-2025-10-06-04-7228-AM.png?width=349&height=245&name=image-png-Sep-30-2025-10-06-04-7228-AM.png)

**Note:** If you're upgrading VideoScribe from an earlier version, just replace the existing application with the latest version of the app in your Applications folder.

- The VideoScribe App is now installed
- Click on '**VideoScribe App**' in the Application folder and then select '**Open**' to run VideoScribe (later, you'll be able to find it in your Applications folder in Finder)
