# Nightly

If you prefer developing on the bleeding edge, you can follow this tutorial to install SurrealDB Nightly. The nightly version is built and released every night at midnight.

Nightly builds include the latest features and bug fixes. They are available for macOS, Linux, and Windows via the install scripts ([Unix](https://github.com/surrealdb/install.surrealdb.com), [Windows](https://github.com/surrealdb/windows.surrealdb.com)), or through Docker using the `nightly` tag.

## Installing SurrealDB Nightly on macOS
