Download, install and manage any version of Godot Engine from a simple app.

Installation

Windows:

Unzip and double-click. (On Windows XP please make sure Powershell is installed)

Linux:

Unzip and double-click. Extraction of downloaded versions requires unzip which, if not installed, should be available in your distro repository

OSX:

Should auto extract after download
You need to run sudo xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine path/to/Godot Version Manager.app since unsigned binaries get marked as untrusted otherwise. Feel free to build the project yourself if you don't trust the prebuilt binaries
Double click Godot Version Manager.app

F.A.Q

Q: Where are the downloaded binaries saved to?

A: They are saved to user://versions which varies depending on your platform. On windows it's %appdata%/Godot/app_serdata/Godot Version Manager/versions

Q: How is this different from Hourglass or Godot Manager?

A: Hourglass is a much more mature and featureful project which also does project management. Maybe the only advantage GVM has is that it also downloads news snippets from the official website :) Godot Manager seems to be a pretty mature and featureful alternative too. A new (Aug 2023) alternative is Godots. GodotEnv and godot-version-manager are CLI-only alternatives.

Q: Why do you scrape godotengine.org/news instead or fetching the RSS feed?

A: When the feature was added the only alternative was a full feed with every piece of news, with no ability to only fetch the most recent ones. The godot-website team kindly added a json version of the news that fully fits the needs of this app. This is pending implementation https://github.com/noidexe/godot-version-manager/issues/29
