• Using the obs-websocket-4.7.0-Windows.zip archive : copy the contents of the archive to the root of your OBS Studio installation folder (either C:\Program Files\obs-studio or C:\Program Files (x86)\obs-studio).

Debian / Ubuntu (64-bit)

• Manual install: Download obs-websocket_4.7.0-1_amd64.deb and install it on your system.

macOS

Download and run obs-websocket-4.7.0-macOS.pkg.
Note: the installer package is now digitally signed, so macOS shouldn't complain. However, if it is the case and a security alert pops up when trying to launch the installer, go to the "Security & Privacy" panel under macOS Settings and click "Open Anyway".
