Installation

System requirements

Download

Download the latest release from lumentrace.app/download.

Two separate installers are available:

• Lumentrace — the main console app
• Lumentrace Client — the remote operator app (see Client installation)

macOS

1. Open the .dmg file.

2. Drag Lumentrace to your Applications folder.

3. First launch — because Lumentrace is distributed directly (not through the App Store), macOS Gatekeeper asks you to confirm it once:

   • macOS 14 and earlier: right-click (or Control-click) the app in Applications, choose Open, then Open again in the dialog.
   • macOS 15 Sequoia and later: double-click once (it will be blocked), then go to System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll down and click Open Anyway, then confirm.

   You only do this once. After that the app opens normally with a double-click. No Terminal commands are needed.

4. On first run macOS may prompt for permissions — allow both:

   • Local Network — required for Art-Net and NDI discovery.
   • Camera — required if you are using a local USB or built-in camera.

Windows

1. Run the .exe installer.
2. First launch — Windows SmartScreen may show "Windows protected your PC" because the installer is not signed with a paid certificate. Click More info, then Run anyway. This is expected and only appears once.
3. Follow the installer prompts, then launch Lumentrace from the Start menu.
4. Windows Firewall may prompt to allow network access — allow it on private networks.
