PC & Mac Install Guide

Install Stremio on Windows, Mac & Linux

Download and set up Stremio on your computer in under 5 minutes. We recommend starting setup on a computer — it makes configuring addons much easier.

Pro tip: Setting up Stremio on a computer first is the best approach. The addon configuration involves browser-based steps that are far easier on a desktop. Once set up, everything syncs to your TV, phone, and tablet automatically.

Download the Stremio installer

Click the button below to go to the official Stremio download page and select the Windows version. The installer is a standard .exe file — no technical knowledge needed.

Download Stremio for Windows

Run the installer

Open the downloaded .exe file. If Windows SmartScreen shows a warning, click "More info" → "Run anyway" — this is normal for new software. Follow the on-screen steps to complete installation.

Create a free account or log in

Open Stremio and click Register to create a free account. If you already have one, click Log In. An account is needed to sync your addons and library across all devices.

Set up your addons

This is where the magic happens. Go to the Addons section and install Torrentio — the most popular addon that gives you access to an enormous library of content. Optionally pair it with a debrid service for 4K, buffer-free streaming.

See the complete Addons Guide for a step-by-step walkthrough of setting up Torrentio, debrid services, streaming catalogs, and more.

Start watching

Search for any movie or TV show in the top bar. Click a result, choose a stream from the list, and start playing. Your watch progress syncs to all your other devices automatically.

Download Stremio for macOS

Head to the download page and select the macOS version. Stremio is a universal binary that runs natively on both Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3) and Intel Macs.

Download Stremio for macOS

Open the .dmg and install

Open the downloaded .dmg file. Drag the Stremio app icon into your Applications folder. Eject the disk image once done.

Allow the app to open (first launch only)

On first launch, macOS may say the app is from an unidentified developer. Go to System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll down, and click "Open Anyway" next to the Stremio warning. You only need to do this once.

This is a standard macOS security prompt for apps not yet listed in the Mac App Store. Stremio is safe to use.

Create a free account or log in. Then head to Addons and install Torrentio to start streaming. See our Addons Guide for the full setup.

Supported distributions: Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, Arch, and most major distros. Stremio also works great on Steam Deck in desktop mode.

Choose your installation format

Stremio is available for Linux in three formats:

• .deb — for Ubuntu, Debian, Linux Mint and derivatives
• .rpm — for Fedora, openSUSE, Red Hat
• AppImage — runs on any distro without installation

Download Stremio for Linux

Install the package

For .deb (Ubuntu/Debian):
sudo dpkg -i stremio-*.deb

For AppImage: Make it executable with chmod +x Stremio-*.AppImage then run it.

Launch Stremio and sign in

Open Stremio from your application launcher or run stremio in a terminal. Log in with your account and set up addons.

Steam Deck users: Switch to Desktop Mode, download the AppImage, make it executable, and run it. Stremio works great with a controller in Big Picture mode.

Next: Set up your addons

Install Torrentio, connect a debrid service, and customize your streaming catalogs.
