Mac
Or you can download .dmg from release page.
So on, you can install from Homebrew:

✨ Thanks to @singingwolfboy for adding it to homebrew-cask.
Linux
There are some packages in release page, for example .deb, .rpm and .AppImage.
If you do not want to use the package manager, please download .tar.bz2 file and decompress it.
If you are using snap, please install from snapcraft.io.
$ sudo snap install whalebird
If you are using flatpak, please install from flathub.org.

We prepared winget package and .exe files, but we don't recommend these ways.
Because these binary is not code signed, so you will get warnings when you launch. Only Windows Store version is signed, so please use it.
$ winget show "Whalebird" --versions
