+# 🚀 How to Publish a New Release
+
+## Quick Steps
+
+### 1. Update the version number in **both** files:
+
+- `src-tauri/tauri.conf.json` → `"version": "X.Y.Z"`
+- `package.json` → `"version": "X.Y.Z"`
+
+### 2. Commit the version bump:
+
+```bash
+git add -A
+git commit -m "release: vX.Y.Z"
+git push origin main
+```
+
+### 3. Create and push a tag:
+
+```bash
+git tag vX.Y.Z
+git push origin vX.Y.Z
+```
+
+**That's it!** GitHub Actions will automatically build for Windows, macOS (ARM + Intel), and Linux, then publish a release with all installers.
+

+
+## Where to find the release
+
+👉 https://github.com/MrFadiAi/openclaw-one-click-installer/releases
+
+Builds take **~10–15 minutes**. You can watch progress in the **Actions** tab.
+
+---
+
+## Example: releasing v0.1.0
+
+```bash
+# 1. Edit versions in tauri.conf.json and package.json to "0.1.0"
+
+# 2. Commit
+git add -A
+git commit -m "release: v0.1.0"
+git push origin main
+
+# 3. Tag & push
+git tag v0.1.0
+git push origin v0.1.0
+```
+
+---
+
+## Re-run a release manually
+
+Go to **Actions** → **Release** → **Run workflow** (top right) if you need to re-trigger without a new tag.
