Installation

Setting Lynx up takes a few steps. You need a Lynx license, a PC running Windows 10 / 11 · x64, and the latest Roblox Player version that Lynx supports.

1. 1

   Download Lynx

   Sign in to your dashboard and download Lynx. It updates itself every time it starts, so there's no separate download for updates.

2. 2

   Check the runtimes

   Lynx depends on two Microsoft components. Most PCs already have them, and Windows 11 ships with WebView2.

   Component	Why Lynx needs it
   Visual C++ 2015–2022 Redistributable (x64)	The app and the module are built against it.
   Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime	Renders the Lynx interface and the editor.

3. 3

   Start Lynx

   Open Lynx. It runs as administrator, so Windows asks for permission first. A Lynx Setup card then checks for updates and downloads what Lynx needs: the Luau language server the editor uses and the latest UI.

4. 4

   Sign in

   Enter your username and password on the Login card. Lynx saves the sign-in on this PC and signs you in by itself from then on. Your license is bound to the PC you sign in on. If you later move to a different PC, reset the binding from the dashboard.

5. 5

   Look around

   Lynx opens on Home: your execution activity, recent scripts and the changelog. Editor, Scripts and Settings are next to it in the title bar. You're set: head to the Quick start.

Where Lynx keeps things

Lynx keeps its own files apart from yours.

Shortcuts

Settings → Interface → Window has Add to Start Menu and Add to Desktop to create a Lynx shortcut, and Always On Top to keep the Lynx window above other apps.
