## On macOS
A DMG file containing a macOS app bundle is available on the [latest release](https://github.com/markqvist/Sideband/releases/latest) page.
On macOS, you can install Sideband with `pip3` or `pipx`. Due to the many different potential Python versions and install paths across macOS versions, the easiest install method is to use `pipx`.
Please note that audio messaging functionality isn't supported on macOS yet. Please support the development if you'd like to see this feature added faster.
Alternatively, you can install Sideband with ``pip3`` on macOS:
If you don't already have the `pipx` package manager installed, it can be installed via [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/) with `brew install pipx`.
```bash
# Install Sideband and dependencies on macOS:
pip3 install sbapp
# Install Sideband and dependencies on macOS using pipx:
pipx install sbapp
pipx ensurepath
# Run it
sideband
```
Or, if you prefer to use `pip` directly, follow the instructions below. In this case, if you have not already installed Python and `pip3` on your macOS system, [download and install](https://www.python.org/downloads/) the latest version first.
```bash
# Install Sideband and dependencies on macOS using pip:
pip3 install sbapp --user --break-system-packages
# Run it:
python3 -m sbapp.main

If you have not already installed Python and `pip3` on your macOS system, [download and install](https://www.python.org/downloads/) the latest version first.
## On Windows
Even though there is currently not an automated installer, or packaged `.exe` file for Sideband on Windows, you can still install it through `pip`. If you don't already have Python installed, [download and install](https://www.python.org/downloads/) the latest version of Python.
