## Short answer

Install Lumen with one command on Windows, Linux or macOS - about 350 MB - then record with automatic zooms, a camera bubble and polished exports that stay on your device.

## Details

Lumen’s install is a single line per OS: PowerShell on Windows 10/11 (per-user, no admin), curl on Linux x86_64 (launcher + lumen CLI), and a one-liner for macOS on Apple Silicon and Intel.

After install, launch Lumen, pick a screen or window, optionally enable the camera bubble, record, and stop with Ctrl+Shift+2 (⌘⇧2 on Mac). Export a polished MP4 with zooms baked in.

Prefer the live commands on the homepage install section - they track current releases. Premium from $9/month early bird unlocks after you subscribe on the site and sign in with Google or GitHub.
