Installation

Ionize is a 64 bit Windows application. It runs on Windows 10 version 2004 and later, including Windows 11. The Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime is required.

Requirements

  • Windows 10 version 2004 (build 10.0.19041) or Windows 11
  • x64 only
  • Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime. Included with Windows 11 and Windows 10 21H2 or later. Install it from Microsoft if Windows reports it missing.

Install

  1. Download. Request the package from the official Ionize Discord bot. Third party mirrors and direct messages are not official download routes.
  2. Install. Extract the portable zip, or run the installer when one is published. Keep Ionize.exe with its resources folder.
  3. Open. Launch Ionize.exe. WebView2 is required. Windows 11 already has it; older Windows 10 may need the Microsoft runtime.
  4. Configure. Pick a theme, confirm the workspace path shown in Explorer, and complete license activation when sales are open.
  5. Run. Write or open a Luau script, attach when the target is ready, then execute. Auto execute scripts run from the autoexec folder.

Workspace folders

After launch, Ionize creates scripts/, autoexec/, and bin/ next to the executable when that directory is writable. Installed copies under Program Files use %LOCALAPPDATA%\Ionize. The Explorer panel prints the resolved path.

If it does not open

Confirm the OS and architecture, install WebView2, and check whether antivirus quarantined Ionize.exe. Then see Troubleshooting.
