+title: Desktop installation
+description: Troubleshooting issues when installing the Ente Photos desktop app
+---
+
+# Desktop app installation
+
+The latest version of the Ente Photos desktop app can be downloaded from
+[ente.io/download](https://ente.io/download). If you're having trouble, please
+see if any of the following cases apply.
+
+## AppImages on ARM64 Linux
+
+If you're on an ARM64 machine running Linux, and the AppImages doesn't do
+anything when you run it, you will need to run the following command on your
+machine:
+
+```sh
+sudo ln -s /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libz.so{.1,}
+```
+
+It is possible that the exact path might be different on your machine. Briefly,
+what we need to do is create `libz.so` as an alias for `libz.so.1`. For more
+details, see the following bugs in upstream repositories:
+
+* libz.so cannot open shared object file on ARM64 -
+  [/github.com/AppImage/AppImageKit/issues/1092](https://github.com/AppImage/AppImageKit/issues/1092)
+
+* libz.so: cannot open shared object file with Ubuntu arm64 - [github.com/electron-userland/electron-builder/issues/7835](https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-builder/issues/7835)
+
+## AppImage says it requires FUSE
+
+See
+[docs.appimage.org](https://docs.appimage.org/user-guide/troubleshooting/fuse.html#the-appimage-tells-me-it-needs-fuse-to-run).
+
+tl;dr; for example, on Ubuntu,
+
+```sh
+sudo apt install libfuse2
+```
+
+## Windows
+
+If the app stops with an "A JavaScript error occurred in the main process - The
+specified module could not be found" error on your Windows machine when you
+start it, then you might need to install the VC++ runtime from Microsoft.
+
+This is what the error looks like:
+
+![Error when VC++ runtime is not installed](windows-vc.png){width=500px}
+
+You can install the Microsoft VC++ redistributable runtime from here:<br/>
