Install Bricklayer Editor on Windows
Request a download, get past the SmartScreen prompt, and open Bricklayer for the first time.
Updated November 8, 2026
Bricklayer Editor is a desktop app. You install it once, like any other Windows program, and it walks you through everything else, including the Roblox Studio plugin.
Before you start
- Roblox Studio installed and signed in. Bricklayer works alongside Studio, it does not replace it.
- About ten minutes. Most of that is Studio loading.
- No coding tools. You do not need Node, Git, Rojo, VS Code, or a terminal.
Install it
- Downloads are by request right now. Request a download and you’ll get a link by email.
- Download the installer from that link and open it. It is usually in your Downloads folder.
- If Windows shows a blue Windows protected your PC screen, choose More info, then Run anyway. Why this happens.
- Let the installer finish. It adds Bricklayer Editor to your Start menu.
- Open Bricklayer Editor from the Start menu.
Close Roblox Studio before your first launch. Bricklayer installs its Studio plugin during setup, and Studio only loads plugins when it starts.
What happens on first launch
The Welcome screen gives you two choices:
| Choose | When |
|---|---|
| Make a new Roblox game | You want to start fresh from a starter: Blank world, Obby, Tycoon, or Simulator. |
| Open my Roblox game | You already have a game in Studio, a Roblox game link, or a .rbxl / .rbxlx file. |
Either way, Bricklayer creates a normal project folder on your computer, installs and connects its Studio plugin, and guides you into Roblox Studio. Then you pick an AI and describe what you want to build.
If the installer will not open
- Nothing happens when you double-click. Wait 20 seconds; antivirus tools sometimes scan new installers first. Then try again.
- Your antivirus quarantined the file. Only download Bricklayer through the official website or your emailed link. If your antivirus still blocks it, restore the file from quarantine or post a thread with the exact message.
- You see an error during install. Note the exact wording, then report it so it can be fixed.
Next
Follow Your first 15 minutes with Bricklayer to get from a blank project to something you can play.
