The launcher automatically checks for new updates on startup and every five minutes thereafter. You can manually check for updates using the **Check for Updates** button on the update management tab in settings.
#### Windows + Linux
When the launcher find a new update, it is downloaded in the background. You will be notified when the update is ready to install. See the above image for details on this.
#### macOS
On macOS, the updater requires that all files be [code signed](https://electronjs.org/docs/tutorial/code-signing#signing-macos-builds). Due to logistical reasons, this is currently not possible.
To circumvent this, the launcher will immediately alert you when an update is available. On the update management tab, you will be given the option to download the update directly from GitHub. Once downloaded, close the launcher and run the `.dmg` file.
