## Releases
Citra has two main release channels: Nightly and Canary.
The [Nightly](https://github.com/citra-emu/citra-nightly) build is based on the master branch, and contains already reviewed and tested features.
The [Canary](https://github.com/citra-emu/citra-canary) build is based on the master branch, but with additional features still under review. PRs tagged `canary-merge` are merged only into the Canary builds.
Both builds can be installed with the installer provided on the [website](https://citra-emu.org/download/), but those looking for specific versions or standalone releases can find them in the release tabs of the [Nightly](https://github.com/citra-emu/citra-nightly/releases) and [Canary](https://github.com/citra-emu/citra-canary/releases) repositories.
Android builds can be downloaded from the Google Play Store.
A Flatpak for Citra is available on [Flathub](https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.citra_emu.citra). Details on the build process can be found in [our Flathub repository](https://github.com/flathub/org.citra_emu.citra).
