UTM Information

Created Wednesday 25 February 2026

FIRST:

You do not need to pay for UTM. You can download the full, official version for free directly from the developers.

The Recommended Method (Official Website)

Go to the official website: https://mac.getutm.app/

Click the Download button.

Once the .dmg file finishes downloading, open it.

A window will appear showing the UTM icon. Drag and drop the UTM icon into your Applications folder.

Open your Applications folder and double-click UTM to run it.

Note: The first time you open it, your Mac might ask if you are sure you want to open an app downloaded from the internet. Click Open.

The "Pro" Method (For Homebrew Users)

If you already use Homebrew to manage your software, you can install it in one line in your terminal:
brew install --cask utm

More info:

*Any* linux distribution is fine. Use "the gallery" and prefer "Virtualization" to "Emulation" in this context
