Downloads

The portal’s Downloads page provides installers built for your platform. Reach it from the left menu → Downloads, or from the Dashboard Latest Version card.

Latest stable version

The latest stable build is highlighted at the top — green border. The card includes:

• Version (e.g. v26.1)
• Platform (Windows / macOS / Linux)
• Release date
• File size (approximately 200–300 MB)
• Download button

This is what you want unless we’ve specifically asked you to use a beta.

Channels

DroneField publishes builds on four release channels:

• Stable (green) — carefully tested, recommended for daily work.
• Beta (blue) — preview of upcoming features. Use it if you want to try something new.
• Alpha (yellow) — developer-internal testing. Please don’t run production projects on this.
• Nightly (purple) — automatic daily builds. Developers only.

If you want to see only stable builds, use the filter at the top of the page.

Platforms

Builds are separated per platform. Currently available (from v26.1):

• macOS Apple Silicon — .dmg file
• Windows 10 / 11 64-bit — .exe installer
• Linux x86_64 — .AppImage (Ubuntu 20.04+ / Debian 11+ / Fedora 36+ / RHEL 8+)

Download flow

1. Click Download next to your platform.
2. The browser downloads the file.
3. After download, run the installer (see Installation).

Older versions

If you specifically need an older build (e.g. for a client environment), scroll down — every previous release is listed in descending date order.

Using an older version

DroneField runs older versions, but licence validation is only guaranteed on supported versions. If you hit an error in an older build, the first recommended step is to update to the latest stable.

Verifying the installer

You can verify the integrity of the download with its SHA-256 hash (helpful for assuring the file isn’t corrupted). The hash is displayed next to each build on the portal.

On macOS / Linux:

shasum -a 256 ~/Downloads/DroneField-v26.1.dmg

On Windows (PowerShell):

Get-FileHash -Algorithm SHA256 $HOME\Downloads\DroneField-v26.1.exe

The value should match the one shown on the portal.

Automatic updates

The desktop application checks every four hours for a new version. If one is available, a green banner appears at the top of the main screen: “New version available — update now”. One click downloads and installs the new version.

You can disable background polling in Settings → Updates if you’re working in the field on a metered connection.
