Documentation / Install guides

Install macOS

One universal dylib covering Intel and Apple Silicon.

1. Get the package

The download is public and needs no key — unlicensed output carries an evaluation watermark and nothing else is restricted. The package file is macos.zip.

Download macos

2. Check your platform

Two separate facts per platform: whether a licence key for this package covers it, and whether the download ships an engine binary for it.

3. Install

unzip macos.zip
clang -I lumaspdf app.c lumaspdf/libLumasPdf.dylib -o app

4. Licence it

A licence is one key string, set once at startup. Buying one and installing it is covered by how licensing works; until then the engine runs fully functional with an evaluation watermark.

5. Your first PDF

The smallest complete program: create, write, close.

#include "lumaspdf.h"
/* one binary, both architectures */
