Install, First Launch & Updates

Download the latest build

The fastest path is the DreamCreator product page. If you need stable direct links for docs, scripts, or internal handoff, use these latest routes.

Platform	Architecture	Package	Download
macOS	Apple Silicon	Archive	dreamcreator-macos-arm64-latest.zip
macOS	Intel	Archive	dreamcreator-macos-x64-latest.zip
Windows	x64	Installer	dreamcreator-windows-x64-latest-installer.exe
Windows	x64	Portable	dreamcreator-windows-x64-latest.zip

Release notes and older versions still live on GitHub Releases.

Which package should you choose

• macOS Apple Silicon: use the arm64 archive.
• macOS Intel: use the x64 archive.
• Windows Installer: better for a machine where the app will stay installed.
• Windows Portable: better for removable environments or places where installation is not ideal.

First launch

1. macOS: unzip the archive and move DreamCreator.app to Applications. If Gatekeeper says the app cannot be opened or is damaged, control-click and choose Open, or run:

   sudo xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine /Applications/DreamCreator.app

2. Windows: run the .exe installer directly, or unzip the portable archive and launch it. If SmartScreen appears, choose More info -> Run anyway.

Initial setup

Before the app is actually useful, complete at least these steps:

1. Configure a working model provider so chat, translation, and automation can run.
2. Install or repair external tools, especially yt-dlp, FFmpeg, bun, and playwright.
3. Confirm that your download path, workspace path, and baseline settings point at locations you will really use over time.

Validate one complete loop

Do not stop at “the app launches.” A better first validation is to finish one real workflow:

1. Paste a video link and create a download task.
2. Continue into subtitle translation, proofreading, or transcoding.
3. Use chat or an assistant once for follow-up work.

That single loop confirms the library, workspace, assistant runtime, and external dependencies are all actually available.

Updates

DreamCreator is published through GitHub and mirrored through updates.dreamapp.cc.

• The website download button always points at the latest stable build.
• The release page remains the source of truth for changelog details.
• On a machine already used for real work, the app itself is still the best place to confirm operational health after updating.

What to verify after an update

• Provider configuration still resolves to the correct endpoint and models.
• yt-dlp, FFmpeg, bun, and playwright are still installed and callable.
• Library tasks, workspace files, and scheduled jobs still resolve correctly.
• Any Telegram or other channel configuration still works as expected.
