Celbridge currently runs on Windows only.

A macOS version is planned, and Linux/WASM versions may be possible depending on demand.

2. When prompted, click `Install` (if this is your first time installing the program) or `Update`.
3. Install the .NET Desktop Runtime if prompted by the installer.
4. Launch Celbridge from the **Start** menu, if it doesn't launch automatically.
