How to get Lyra on Mac, Windows and Linux
Updated on
On the lyramusic.app home page, the Desktop card has a download for macOS, Windows and Linux, plus links to the Microsoft Store and to an AppImage. The Mac app is universal (Apple silicon and Intel), Windows gets a 64-bit installer and Linux a .deb package or an AppImage. The desktop app is free.

Download and install
Mac: open the .dmg and drag Lyra to Applications. Windows: run the installer, or get Lyra from the Microsoft Store. Linux: install the .deb package, or make the AppImage executable and run it.

Good to know
- On desktop you can import your own songs from your computer; importing them from cloud drives is available in the mobile apps only.
If something goes wrong
- The download doesn't match my computer
- The download section guesses your system from the browser. Use the Desktop card instead: it has a link for every system.
