Linux aarch64
Official AppImage and tar.gz packages exist for 64-bit ARM Linux since build 65. The AppImage needs glibc 2.39 or newer, the tar.gz needs system Qt 6. Build 117 has 2,409 aarch64 downloads.
Lichii Emulator Android, ARM Builds and the Fake APK Warning
Lichii Emulator Android builds do not exist: none of the 15 releases on github.com/zortos293/Lichii contains an APK. Official packages cover four desktop targets: Windows x86_64, Linux on x86_64 and on aarch64, and Apple Silicon Macs. Any Lichii APK you find is either a community fork or a file pretending to be Lichii. This page shows which devices have an official build, what an ARM Linux machine or a Steam Deck can run, and how to spot the fake downloads that have already been reported.

ARM devices and handheld PCs
Steam Deck
The Steam Deck is an x86_64 Linux PC, so the x86_64 AppImage is the matching file. Check that its system provides glibc 2.39 or newer before relying on the AppImage.
Apple Silicon
Macs with M-series chips get dmg and zip packages for macOS 15 or newer. They are not notarized and have no PGO variant in build 117. Intel Macs have no official build.
Which file fits your device
Players file compatibility reports on lichii.zortos.me together with the system they tested on. Windows has by far the most reports, Linux has the best median result, and no report has come from a phone or tablet, because there is no Android build to test. The counts below cover all 320 reports across every build.

Pick the package for your hardware
- Windows PC with an x86_64 CPU: the Windows x86_64 zip. Build 117 offers a PGO and a standard variant.
- Linux PC or Steam Deck: the x86_64 AppImage, or the tar.gz if your system already provides Qt 6.
- 64-bit ARM Linux board or laptop: the aarch64 AppImage or tar.gz, available since build 65.
- Mac with an M-series chip: the macOS arm64 dmg or zip, on macOS 15 or newer.
- Android phone or tablet: there is no official file, so do not install an APK that claims to be Lichii.
Frequently asked questions
Is there an official Lichii APK for Android?
No. None of the 15 releases on github.com/zortos293/Lichii contains an APK. Official packages exist only for Windows x86_64, Linux x86_64 and aarch64, and Apple Silicon Macs. Lichii-Android on GitHub is a community fork, not an official build.
Is Lichii a virus?
The official GitHub build is open source under GPL-3.0 and each release lists a SHA-256 for every file. The malware report concerns a different file: issue #545 describes a zip from lichii.org that starts node.exe and runs a script from %TEMP%. Download only from GitHub Releases.
Does Lichii run on a Steam Deck?
There is no Steam Deck package, but the Deck runs x86_64 Linux, which has official AppImage and tar.gz builds. The AppImage needs glibc 2.39 or newer. Results depend on the game; check the compatibility list before you set it up.
Can I run Lichii on an ARM computer?
Yes, on two kinds: 64-bit ARM Linux through the aarch64 AppImage or tar.gz, added in build 65, and Apple Silicon Macs on macOS 15 or newer. ARM Windows and Android have no official package.
