      Installing OpenUTAU

      Windows
      macOS
      Linux

      Installer

      Click twice on the downloaded .exe file and follow the installation instructions.

      • Install in the default location (Program Files).
        (Currently, there is a problem where the previous installation location is not remembered during updates.)
      • When using the installer version, the location for voicebanks, engines, plugins, etc. is fixed in the user's Documents folder.
        As voicebanks require a significant amount of storage space, if your C: drive doesn't have enough capacity or if you use OneDrive backup, use the portable version instead of the installer version.

      Portable

      After unpacking to a new folder, you can start the application by double-clicking OpenUtau.exe.

      • For the portable version, you will place voicebanks, engines, plugins, etc., in the specific folders where the OpenUtau.exe is located.
        Installation in a separate partition or external HDD is also possible (note that operations may be slower on external devices).
      • Never place it in locations that require administrator privileges, such as Program Files.
      • If you place it in folders like Downloads or Documents, make sure to disable OneDrive backup.
      • If storage space is insufficient, consider placing it on a different drive.
