Requirements
Windows — Windows 10 or later, on x64.
macOS — macOS 11 or later, on Apple Silicon. There is no Intel build of Studio.
Studio does not run on an Intel Mac. The macOS download is an Apple Silicon binary, and Rosetta only translates in the other direction — it lets Apple Silicon run Intel code, not the reverse. So this is not a reduced-feature mode you can work around: the application will not open at all.
That limits where Studio runs, not who you can ship to. Intel Mac is still a build target — a game authored on Apple Silicon can be packaged for players on Intel Macs, alongside every other target. See Run and Package.
Install
Windows — run the .exe. It installs for the current user, so it never asks for administrator rights.
macOS — open the .dmg and drag NarraLeaf Studio into Applications.
Builds are not code-signed, so the first launch is blocked.
