Older Operating Systems
If you are using macOS 10.13 to 10.15, or older Linux distributions, you can use the latest release from the 1.x series.
Verifying the Release
To ensure that your downloaded installation file is safe and has not been modified by attackers, you should verify it before installing.
Easy Verification (via Sparrow Wallet)
If you already have Sparrow (version 1.8.3 or newer) installed, verification is very easy. Download these three files into the same folder (e.g., Downloads):
- The installation file for your OS from the table above.
- Manifest: sparrow-2.5.2-manifest.txt
- Manifest Signature: sparrow-2.5.2-manifest.txt.asc
Simply drag and drop any of these files into the open Sparrow Wallet window. The program will automatically check the signatures and show you the result.
Manual Verification (via Terminal / Command Line)
If you prefer to check everything manually using command-line tools, make sure you have gpg installed (it is built into Linux, and available via GPGTools for macOS or Gpg4win for Windows).
1. Open your terminal and import the developer’s public PGP key:
2. Navigate to your downloads folder and verify the manifest file:
gpg —verify sparrow-2.5.2-manifest.txt.asc
If everything is correct, the terminal output will look like this:
gpg: Signature made Mon Jun 01 12:00:00 2026 SAST
gpg: using RSA key D4D0D3202FC06849A257B38DE94618334C674B40
gpg: Good signature from «Craig Raw <craig@sparrowwallet.com>» [unknown]
3. Finally, verify the hash of your specific installation file to make sure it matches the manifest:
macOS
Sparrow-2.5.2.dmg: OK
Linux
sparrowwallet_2.5.2-1_amd64.deb: OK
Windows
Installation & Upgrading
Install the downloaded file as you normally would for any application on your operating system.
Note for Upgrades: Sparrow stores all your wallets, private keys, and settings in a separate data folder. You can safely overwrite or uninstall the old version and install the new one — your data and funds will not be affected. Just make sure to close the wallet before upgrading.
