Installation
Please note : Starting with Catalina, Aerial will only notify you of new versions, but won’t be able to automatically update itself. This is a limitation of macOS Catalina.
Trying Apple Silicon and missing Aerial ? See the end of this comment on how to get Aerial working there. But please be aware that screen savers are broken on Apple Silicon with Big Sur beta 3 !
Installation instructions (latest versions require macOS 10.12 or above) :
- Quit System Preferences.
- Download the latest release of Aerial.saver.zip. Alternatively, you can find the latest beta here.
- Unzip the downloaded file (if you use Safari, it should already be done for you).
- Double-click Aerial.saver; it will open in System Preferences > Desktop & Screen Saver and ask you if you want to install for all users or for your user only. Be aware that installing for all users will require a password at install and each subsequent update, including auto-updates.
