Get the free FIRDesign trial

Install once and run every feature — project save and impulse export are shown but locked until you activate. Self-contained: a trimmed runtime is bundled, so there is nothing else to install.

FIRDesign

macOS

Most Macs from 2020 on are Apple Silicon.

Download (.dmg)

FIRDesign-1.2.0-mac-aarch64.dmg

Other: Intel Mac (.dmg)

Not sure? Apple menu → About This Mac — a “Chip: Apple M…” line means Apple Silicon.

Windows

64-bit Windows 10 or 11.

Download (.exe)

FIRDesign-1.2.0-windows-x86_64.exe

Other: .msi (silent / managed install)

The .exe is the standard installer — pick it if you’re unsure.

Linux (Intel / AMD)

By far the most common — 64-bit Intel/AMD desktops and laptops (x86_64).

Download (.AppImage)

FIRDesign-1.2.0-linux-x86_64.AppImage

Other: .deb · .rpm

AppImage runs on any distro — no install. Prefer packages? .deb (Debian/Ubuntu) or .rpm (Fedora).

Linux (ARM)

ARM devices only — Raspberry Pi, ARM servers and SBCs (aarch64).

Download (.AppImage)

FIRDesign-1.2.0-linux-aarch64.AppImage

Other: .deb · .rpm

For 64-bit ARM. On a normal Intel/AMD PC, use the Linux (Intel / AMD) download instead.

System requirements

FIRDesign is self-contained: each installer bundles a trimmed OpenJDK and OpenJFX runtime, so there is nothing else to install and no separate Java required.

  • macOS — Apple Silicon or Intel Mac
  • Windows — 64-bit Windows
  • Linux — 64-bit, arm64 or x86_64

First launch

Code signing arrives in a later release, so the first launch may need one extra step:

  • macOSright-click the app → Open (a routine "unidentified developer" prompt).
  • Windowschoose More info → Run anyway.
  • Linux (AppImage)make it executable first: chmod +x FIRDesign-1.2.0-….AppImage then run it (or right-click → Properties → Permissions → Allow executing). The .deb / .rpm packages install normally.

Verify your download (optional)

Until FIRDesign is code-signed you may prefer to confirm your download is intact. Each release ships a SHA256SUMS.txt; compare it against your file:

  • macOSshasum -a 256 FIRDesign-1.2.0-….dmg
  • Linuxsha256sum FIRDesign-1.2.0-…
  • Windowscertutil -hashfile FIRDesign-1.2.0-….exe SHA256

This catches a corrupted or tampered download in transit; full authenticity comes with code signing (planned).
