Install Movitera Link

Download the installer for your system, finish the install, and confirm the icon appears in the tray. macOS, Windows, and Linux each have their own steps.

Before you start

  • An account at the company that uses Movitera®.
  • Permission to install apps on this computer.
  • macOS with Apple Silicon (M1 or newer), Windows 10/11, or a Linux distribution that supports AppImage or .deb.

Always download from the official Movitera® download page (movitera.com/download).

macOS

  1. 1

    Download the `.dmg` file.

    On the download page, choose macOS. Movitera Link runs on Apple Silicon Macs.

  2. 2

    Open the `.dmg` and drag Movitera Link to Applications.

    result
    Movitera Link appears in the Applications folder.
  3. 3

    Open Movitera Link for the first time.

    The app is signed and notarized by Apple, so it opens normally. If macOS blocks it, see Troubleshooting.

Windows

  1. 1

    Download the `.msi` installer.

    On the download page, choose Windows. Works on Windows 10 and 11.

  2. 2

    Run the `.msi` and follow the installer.

  3. 3

    If Windows shows the SmartScreen warning, click `More info`, then `Run anyway`.

    The installer isn't signed yet in this version, so SmartScreen shows Unknown publisher. This is expected.

After installing, the Movitera Link icon appears in the notification area, near the clock.

Linux

  1. 1

    Download the `.AppImage` or the `.deb`.

    Use the .deb on Debian and Ubuntu; use the .AppImage on other distributions.

  2. 2

    AppImage: make the file executable and open it.

    bash
    chmod +x Movitera-Link_*.AppImage
    ./Movitera-Link_*.AppImage
  3. 3

    .deb: install it with the package manager.

    bash
    sudo dpkg -i movitera-link_*.deb

The Movitera Link icon appears in the system tray.

Confirm the install

  • The Movitera Link icon is in the tray (menu bar on macOS).
  • When opened, the app shows the connection screen.

Next step

With the app installed, connect the computer to your company.
