However, you can safely download and install the latest version using the link at the end of this guide.
Once installed, you can start using all its features. Although Magisk Manager runs normally even on non-root devices, in those cases, it does not make much sense to install it. Therefore, before downloading this application, learn about how to obtain superuser privileges in your device.
