Official downloads

These URLs are the ones Element declares in its own manifest. We do not proxy or shorten them, and we do not host a copy.

More than one architecture below. Check which one your Windows is if you are not sure.

Verify the file you downloaded

Run this against the file on disk. If the output does not match the hash below, the file is not what Element published. Delete it.

Got a different hash, or one you cannot place? Paste it into the hash checker and it will tell you which program and version it belongs to, past releases included.

Install Element silently

The unattended switch below is the one Element declares in the installer manifest, not one we guessed by trying flags.

Run it from the folder holding the downloaded file, in a terminal opened as administrator when the package installs for all users. Silent means no window and no prompts, so check the exit code rather than waiting for something to appear: 0 is success and 3010 means it worked but wants a reboot.

Download Element for Mac

The macOS build as Homebrew declares it, with the same treatment as the Windows side: the publisher's own URL and a hash to check it against.

How we scored this 100 out of 100

Is Element safe to download?

Yes, in the sense we can actually verify: the installer downloads from element.io, which is a domain we have tied to Element.

How the 100/100 score is calculated · why the source matters more than the reputation

Install Element with winget

Windows ships with a package manager, and this program is in it. The identifier below is the one Microsoft's repository uses, which is also where the download URL and hash on this page come from.

Why --exact: without it winget matches on name as well as identifier, and a search that returns more than one package makes it stop and ask rather than install. Pinning the identifier is what makes the command safe to put in a script.

Not installing anything, or getting an error back? The commands that actually come up covers upgrading everything at once, what --include-unknown is for, and why winget can be missing from a machine that should have it.
