Prerequisites

1. Check Your System

	Windows	macOS	Linux	Android
Required	Windows 10+	Try at own risk	Try at own risk	Not recommended
Environment	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes
Emulator	Yes	Yes	Emulator or containerized Android	No
Usage	GUI or CLI	GUI or CLI	GUI or CLI	CLI

Notes
Windows: Most users should download the x86_64 build
Mac: MaaKEDR supports both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs Intel Mac users are advised to install Windows via Boot Camp and use the Windows version of MaaKEDR with an emulator
Android: See MaaFramework for details This method is complex and risky — not recommended for beginners

2. Install Runtime Dependencies

Note

You can skip this section for now. After downloading and extracting MaaKEDR, run the dependency installer script first. Only come back here if the script fails.

Launcher	Windows		macOS		Linux
	MFAA	MXU	MFAA	MXU	MFAA	MXU
VCRedist	Download vc_redist.x64		No
.NET	Yes	No	Yes	No	Yes	No
Python	Bundled — no action needed				Python 3.13 required

VCRedist x64

Windows users must install VCRedist x64. This is required to run MaaKEDR (regardless of launcher choice).

Installation details

• Direct download: click vc_redist.x64 and install
• winget (admin terminal):

  winget install Microsoft.VCRedist.2017.x64

.NET

If you use the MFAA GUI, you need to install .NET 10 Desktop Runtime.

Installation details

• Download from the .NET official download page — choose the .NET 10 Desktop Runtime for your system.
• (Windows only) winget (admin terminal):

  winget install Microsoft.DotNet.DesktopRuntime.10

Python

Python is bundled in the Windows and macOS release packages — no separate installation required. The Linux release does not bundle Python; install Python 3.13 manually.

3. Download the Right Version

Download MaaKEDR from the GitHub Releases page. Each release provides two GUI frontends — download only one:

Tip

Trust only the official channels: MaaKEDR is released through GitHub Releases and Mirror酱 (a partner channel with content identical to the official one); some GUIs support in-app updates via Mirror酱. Downloads from other unofficial sources (lookalike sites, file-hosting reshare) carry security risks — verify the app identifier before installing.

Frontend	Suffix	Description
MFAA	-MFAA	GUI, requires .NET Desktop Runtime, richer interface
MXU	-MXU	GUI (Unity), no additional dependencies

Platform	Download
Windows x86_64	MaaKEDR-win-x86_64-v*-MFAA.zip or -MXU.zip
Windows ARM64	MaaKEDR-win-aarch64-v*-MFAA.zip or -MXU.zip
macOS Intel	MaaKEDR-macos-x86_64-v*-MFAA.tar.gz or -MXU.tar.gz
macOS Apple Silicon	MaaKEDR-macos-aarch64-v*-MFAA.tar.gz or -MXU.tar.gz
Linux x86_64	MaaKEDR-linux-x86_64-v*-MFAA.tar.gz or -MXU.tar.gz
Linux ARM64	MaaKEDR-linux-aarch64-v*-MFAA.tar.gz or -MXU.tar.gz

How to check your Mac processor architecture

1. Click the Apple logo in the top-left corner.
2. Select "About This Mac".
3. Check the processor information.

• Intel processor → download -macos-x86_64-
• Apple Silicon (M1, M2, etc.) → download -macos-aarch64-

4. Emulator & Device Support

	Windows	macOS	Linux	Android
Emulator	Yes (major ones)	Yes (major ones)	DIY	N/A
ADB required	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes

MaaKEDR connects to emulators/devices via ADB. Recommended emulators:

• MuMu 12
• BlueStacks 5
• LDPlayer 9
• NoxPlayer

Refer to the MAA documentation for emulator compatibility details.

---

5. Set the Correct Resolution

MaaKEDR requires a 16:9 landscape resolution. The recommended (and minimum) resolution is 1280x720. Issues caused by incorrect resolution will not be addressed.

Warning

Make sure your emulator is in landscape (tablet) mode, not portrait (phone) mode!

---

6. Getting Started

Important

Do not run the program directly from within the archive!

Extract the archive to a dedicated folder. Recommended path: D:\MaaKEDR (Windows) or ~/MaaKEDR (macOS/Linux). Avoid paths that require administrator privileges (e.g. C:\Program Files\).

Windows

Extract and run maakedr.exe.

macOS

Details

1. Open Terminal and extract:

   mkdir -p ~/MaaKEDR
   tar -xzf ~/Downloads/MaaKEDR-macos-*.tar.gz -C ~/MaaKEDR

2. Enter the directory and launch:

   cd ~/MaaKEDR
   ./maakedr

Gatekeeper warning:

On macOS 10.15+ you may see "cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified". To bypass:

sudo xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine ~/MaaKEDR/maakedr

Linux

Same as macOS — extract the appropriate archive and run ./maakedr.

---

7. Configure MaaKEDR

First Launch

On first launch, MaaKEDR automatically initializes and creates the config/ directory. Wait for "AgentServer started" in the log panel, and do not click "Stop" until "All tasks completed" appears.

Resource Type

Select the server version of 雪松 (KEDR) installed in your emulator:

• Official (base)
• Bilibili (bilibili)
• TapTap (taptap)

Connection

MaaKEDR needs a correct ADB connection to your target emulator. In most cases, just keep your target emulator running and click "Refresh".

• Refresh: Rescan all running emulators
• Custom: Modify ADB parameters (usually not needed)
• Reconnect: Reconnect to the selected emulator

Task List

MaaKEDR provides these automation tasks:

Task	Description
Launch Game	From launcher to main menu
Claim Rewards	Daily check-in, weekly, battle pass, mail, dispatch
Farm Resources	Auto-battle with stamina management
Remaining Stamina	Fixed stamina-drain mode to use up leftover stamina
Event Stage	Event stage sweeps (3/day, no stamina cost)
Event Shop	Auto-buy fixed-guarantee items in the event shop
PVP	Arena auto-battle
Stamina Info	Read home-screen stamina and report refill time

Important

Most tasks require proper configuration before use. Read each task's description carefully and adjust settings according to your needs.

Configuration Files

On first launch, MaaKEDR generates configuration files in the config/ directory. You can edit these with a text editor.

config/pip_config.json

pip installation settings. In most cases, no changes are needed.

{
    "enable_pip_install": true, // Enable pip install, default true
    "mirror": "https://pypi.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/simple", // PyPI mirror
    "backup_mirror": "https://mirrors.ustc.edu.cn/pypi/simple", // Backup mirror
}

FAQ

Cannot connect to emulator

• Make sure ADB debugging is enabled in your emulator
• Try adb devices to verify the connection
• Check the ADB port: MuMu uses 127.0.0.1:16384, BlueStacks uses 127.0.0.1:5555

Tasks fail during execution

• Ensure the game is on the correct screen (main menu or target feature page)
• Check screenshots in the debug/ directory to verify recognition accuracy
• Review maafw.log (project root) for error details
