How to Install MuMu Player

Step-by-step setup for Windows, Windows on ARM and macOS, plus what to do if installation fails.

Before you start, check the system requirements and make sure you have the installer from the official download links.

Install on Windows

  1. Open the official download page and choose Download for Windows.
  2. Run the installer (for example MuMuInstaller.exe) and approve the Windows permission prompt.
  3. Pick an install location with at least 2 GB free; keep about 1.5 GB free on the system drive as well.
  4. Click install and wait for the files to download and unpack; a slow connection can take several minutes.
  5. Launch the app, then create your first device from Home, New Device, choosing Android 15 or Android 12.
  6. If performance feels slow, enable VT in your BIOS or UEFI and restart.

Install on Windows on ARM

Choose the Windows ARM option on the official page instead of the standard build, then follow the same steps. The ARM build is in beta, so some games may not run yet.

Install on macOS

  1. Choose Download for macOS on the official page.
  2. Open the downloaded disk image and drag MuMuPlayer Pro into Applications.
  3. Launch it from Applications. If macOS asks for confirmation, check the developer name before allowing it.
  4. Sign in to start the 7-day trial on a Mac that hasn't used it before; subscribe from the menu bar or Personal Center to continue afterwards.

Linux, Android and iOS

There's no official MuMu Player build for Linux or ChromeOS, and we won't invent workarounds. On Android and iOS, NetEase offers the MuMuPlayer mobile app, which remotely controls emulator devices running on your computer rather than emulating Android itself.

After Installation

  • Press F12 inside a game to bring up keyboard and mouse controls.
  • Raise the frame rate in Device Settings, Display if your PC has headroom.
  • Allocate CPU cores carefully: NetEase advises choosing fewer than half your physical cores per device to avoid lag.

If Installation Fails

  • Installer stops or errors: re-download from the official page; NetEase also offers an offline installer for network errors.
  • Stuck at startup: enable VT and update graphics drivers. See troubleshooting.
  • Not enough space: free space on both the install drive and the system drive.
