# Macintosh installation

* You can download the wallet from <https://win.win/#download>&#x20;

{% hint style="danger" %}
**DO NOT use any other download locations** **as those do not guarantee that you will get a clean wallet that has not been tampered with.**
{% endhint %}

* Mount the downloaded .dmg file containing the TWINS wallet by double-clicking it.
* The **Twins-CORE device** will show up in the Finder sidebar and a window will open. If it doesn’t open, doubleclick on the **Twins-CORE device**.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Double-clicking TWINS-Qt to run the application WON’T WORK, because the file is from an unknown source.**
{% endhint %}

* The first time the program is launched, you will be asked where you want to store your wallet and blockchain data. Choose a location with enough free space as the files can take more space as the blockchain grows. It is recommended to use the default data folder if possible.
* Initial startup might take a minute and once started wait for the wallet to fully synchronise before you start using it.&#x20;
* When the synchronisation is complete you will see a small green icon lighting up at the bottom right corner in your wallet:&#x20;
