Before installing

Minimum requirements

System
Windows 10+, macOS 12+ or a current Linux
Memory
4 GB
Disk
2 GB free
Graphics
OpenGL 3.3 (a 2010 standard). Intel HD 4000 integrated chips, AMD and NVIDIA from 2012 on all qualify. On macOS the game runs through Apple's OpenGL driver, which uses Metal underneath — nothing to install.
Dependencies
None. You do not need to install .NET or anything beyond the package
Connection
Any broadband. The game uses little bandwidth once loaded

Where it installs

Always for your user only — no installer asks for an administrator password. That is deliberate: the game updates itself by rewriting its own folder, and a system-wide install would make every update ask for authorisation.

Windows
%LocalAppData%\Programs\PokeOrigins
macOS
/Applications/POrigins.app
Linux
~/.local/share/porigins

The system warning is normal

Our packages carry our own signature, but not an Apple or Microsoft certificate — the ones the system recognises. The warning appears; the file is intact, and the SHA-256 above lets you check.

  • Windows — «More info → Run anyway»
  • macOS — «is damaged» is the quarantine. In Terminal: xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/POrigins.app
  • Linux — nothing to do
