The latest version of Aurora can be found on the forums. There are two stages to installing Aurora: download the base game, and download any patches.

Installation

Download the latest full installation from the forums. The forum topic containing it should be labelled "C# Full Installation" or similar. Download this file and unzip the contents into a folder where you want Aurora to reside on your computer.

Patching

Patching the game is a simple matter of downloading the latest database patch and the latest executable patch, deleting your old "AuroraDB.db" and "Aurora.exe" files, and extracting the new files into your Aurora folder.

Aurora versions are labelled vX.Y.Z. You want to find the latest vX.Y.0 for the database patch, and the latest vX.Y.Z for the executable patch. For example, as of May 14th, 2020, the latest database patch is v1.9.0 and the latest executable patch is v1.9.5. The database patch will also include an "Aurora.exe" file, but we will ignore it in favor of the one from the latest executable patch. It may be the case that there is no executable patch currently released. If so, use the "Aurora.exe" file from the database patch instead.

Make sure to delete your old "AuroraDB.db" and "Aurora.exe" files to avoid any issues with your operating system not fully overwriting them. After doing so, copy the newly downloaded "AuroraDB.db" file from your database patch and the "Aurora.exe" file from your executable patch. You now have the latest version of the game.
