Installation
Installing Roflow takes a couple of minutes: the Roflow app, and Roblox Studio if you do not have it yet. Roflow puts its Studio plugin in place by itself.
Supported computers
| Platform | Requirement | Installer |
|---|---|---|
| Windows | Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit | .exe |
| macOS | Apple silicon or Intel Mac | .dmg |
Roblox Studio must be installed on the same computer.
Step 1: Download Roflow
- Go to roflow.co/downloads.
- The page offers the build for your computer. You can also pick a platform yourself.
- Save the installer. The page shows the version, the file size and a SHA-256 checksum, so you can confirm the file is the one Roflow published.
Only install Roflow from roflow.co/downloads.
Step 2: Install the Roflow app
Windows
- Run the downloaded
.exe. - Follow the installer.
- Open Roflow from the Start menu.
The Windows installer is not code-signed yet, so SmartScreen may say the publisher cannot be verified. For a download from roflow.co/downloads this is expected: choose More info, then Run anyway. If you got the file anywhere else, do not run it.
macOS
- Open the downloaded
.dmg. - Drag Roflow into Applications.
- Open Roflow from Applications.
The macOS app is signed and notarized by Apple.
Step 3: Install Roblox Studio
If you already build in Studio, you are set. Otherwise download Roblox Studio for free from create.roblox.com, sign in with your Roblox account, and open it once.
The Studio plugin
Roflow talks to Studio through a small plugin. You do not install it yourself: Roflow copies it into Studio's plugin folder when it starts. Studio loads plugins only when it starts, so if Studio was already open the first time you ran Roflow, close Studio and open it again once. Roflow tells you when this is needed.
If Studio asks whether Roflow may connect, choose Allow.
Updates
Roflow updates itself. When a new version is ready, the app offers to install it; your games and chats are kept.
Next steps
- First Launch: sign in and connect Studio.
- Roflow CLI: install the terminal version.
- Installation Problems: if the app will not install or open.
