In Brackeys (now pretty old) tutorial on how to export your game he shows how to make an installer for you game. Can you only make such an installer for windows or also for mac?

And while I'm at it is inno setup still the best free option to do such a thing?

macOS doesn't have the concept of "installers"

#

That's a thing that only really exists in the Windows universe

#

With macOS, apps are entirely self-contained in a single folder. To "install" an app, you just drag the app folder to your Applications, and to "uninstall" you just drop it in the trash

#

For Windows, innoSetup is still fine to use. There's also Squirrel which allows for background installation and auto-updating (similar to how Chrome and Discord work)
