# Install and prerequisites

Dola app download for Windows and Linux: account access, where the installer actually comes from, and the Unreal Engine 5.7 plugin builds.

Last updated 10 October 2026

## [Access first](#access)

Downloads sit behind a signed-in Dola account. [Create an account](https://dolaai.pro/signup) first; it is free, and access is immediate unless launch spots are full. We do not publish a public direct download URL that skips that gate.

## [Download the Dola desktop app](#platforms)

The desktop app ships installers for **Windows** and **Linux**. The signed-in Releases page lists the latest installer for each platform (setup .exe, AppImage, and .deb). Copyright on the installer is “Dola AI”.

Downloading the app and creating an account are free. Running agents uses AI credits on your Dola account. The [paid plans](https://dolaai.pro/plans) include a monthly amount of credits.

Sign-in from the app uses a short-lived browser code, not a pasted API key. The full walkthrough, from account to plugin, is the [Dola app download guide](https://dolaai.pro/blog/dola-app-download).

## [Unreal Engine version](#unreal)

Published plugin builds are currently for **Unreal Engine 5.7** on Windows and Linux (release zips named like Dola-5.7-Win64.zip and Dola-5.7-Linux.zip). There is no macOS build. The desktop app installs against the engine series of the project you open. We do not claim every Unreal 5.x release is packaged today. Other engine versions are coming soon.

The plugin needs Epic's own Unreal Engine build: the Epic Games Launcher install on Windows, or Epic's Linux download on Linux. A self-built (source) engine is not supported.

## [Plugin install is in-app](#plugin)

After you attach a project, use **Install Dola plugin** in the desktop app. That installs the plugin into Dola's local plugin folder and enables it for your project. There is no separate command-line install.
