Download
Windows
If you're using the portable zip files, just open the zip file in Explorer and drag the folder somewhere convenient, then double-click on the krita icon in the folder. This will not impact an installed version of Krita, though it will share your settings and custom resources with your regular installed version of Krita. For reporting crashes, also get the debug symbols folder.

OSX
- OSX disk image: krita-4.3.0-beta2.dmg
Note: the gmic-qt is not available on OSX.
Android
The Android builds were made from git, not the release tarball, so they don't have translations. The beta is labeled 4.3.0-beta1 but actually contains all the fixes for beta 2, except for the commit that changed the version number.
This version of Krita for Android can load .kra files from Google Drive folders on ChromeOS, has fixes for problems with the menubar on some Samsung devices and has Samsung Air gestures integrated.
It is still not recommended to use these betas on phones, though they do install. This beta will also be available in the Google Play Store.
