# Signal Desktop
Signal Desktop is an Electron application that links with Signal
on [Android](https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Android)
or [iOS](https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-iOS).
Signal Desktop links with Signal on [Android](https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Android) or [iOS](https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-iOS) and lets you message from your Windows, macOS, and Linux computers.
## Install the production version: https://signal.org/download/
## Install the beta
You can install the beta version of Signal Desktop alongside the production version. The beta uses different data and install locations.
- _Windows:_ First, download [this file](https://updates.signal.org/desktop/beta.yml) and look for the `url` property that specifies the location for the latest beta installer. Download the installer by constructing a final URL that looks like this: `https://updates.signal.org/desktop/<installer location>`. Then run the installer.
- _macOS:_ First, download [this file](https://updates.signal.org/desktop/beta-mac.yml) and look for the `url` property that specifies the location for the latest beta installer. Download the installer by constructing a final URL that looks like this: `https://updates.signal.org/desktop/<package location>`. Then unzip that package and copy the `.app` file into the `/Applications` folder using Finder.
- _Linux:_ Follow the production instructions to set up the APT repository and run `apt install signal-desktop-beta`.
[Install the production version](https://signal.org/download/) or help us out by [installing the beta version](https://support.signal.org/hc/articles/360007318471-Signal-Beta).
