Keep in mind that the Hello screen saver requires macOS 11.3, so if you try to install it on an earlier version of macOS, you’ll be met with an error telling you that 11.3 is required. Once verified, the screen saver will be installed and available in System Preferences → Desktop & Screen Saver → Screen Saver. You’ll be prompted to verify the install using your administrator password.

Rename the Hello.saver to Hellocopy.saver and then double-click it to install. From there, it’s just a matter of visiting the following location in Finder: /System/Library/Screen Savers/ and copying the Hello.screen saver to your desktop. To use the new Hello screen saver, you’ll first need to be running the macOS 11.3 RC. Watch our hands-on video for more details. The new Hello screen saver is available in macOS 11.3 RC, and can run on any M1 Mac (or Intel Mac) with a little bit of finessing. New M1 iMacs will ship with a new screen saver in macOS 11.3 RC entitled Hello, a not-so-subtle homage to the original Macintosh, and to the original iMac.
