| **Note:** On Macintosh and Linux, if you already have Zerene Stacker installed and are downloading a new version to update it, then you need to manually move the old version to trash, and move or rename the new version to replace it. Otherwise both versions will continue to be available, and you will run whichever one you happen to click on. For further information, see the **[[stacker:docs:faqlist|FAQS]]** on "Installing and Updating". On Mac, when trashing out the old version, do __**NOT**__ allow any third party uninstaller or cleanup applications like "AppCleaner" to run. In their enthusiasm to eliminate files that they think are not used, they're likely to also delete files you really do need, like your license key and Zerene Stacker configuration files. | **Note:** On Macintosh and Linux, if you already have Zerene Stacker installed and are downloading a new version to update it, then you need to manually move the old version to trash, and move or rename the new version to replace it.
