Setup
Installing the TradingView Desktop App on Windows, macOS & Linux
Desktop and web run the same engine, but installing locally is what unlocks multi-monitor tear-off, native notifications and lower-latency streaming. Each OS installs differently and verifies signatures differently — here's each one.
Windows
- Grab the Windows installer from the platform matrix (currently 3.2.1, x86-64 and ARM64);
- Run it; if SmartScreen appears, click "More info" and confirm the publisher is TradingView Inc.;
- Verify manually: right-click the installer → Properties → Digital Signatures, confirm signer and timestamp;
- On Surface and other ARM devices, get the ARM64 native build — don't run x86 under emulation.
macOS
Needs macOS 11+, with a native Apple Silicon binary (no Rosetta). Open the dmg → drag into Applications → Gatekeeper verifies on first launch; the app is Apple-notarized, so it opens straight through. An "app is damaged" message usually means an interrupted download corrupted the dmg — re-download.
Linux
Ships as deb / rpm / AppImage, needs glibc 2.31+. After installing, verify the SHA-256 shipped with the release:
> sha256sum -c tradingview_3.2.1_amd64.deb.sha256
tradingview_3.2.1_amd64.deb: OK
Three things on first launch: enable GPU acceleration, allow system notifications, and add to startup if you watch markets daily. For install failures, see the performance guide and the signature-verification guide.
