Download/Run

Windows Download

Download the .zip archive, extract it, then either run the -setup.exe file to install the program with update capabilities,
or run the -portable.exe file to run the program directly without installing.

Windows might give you a SmartScreen warning; Windows' SmartScreen doesn't like unsigned executables,
but since it's quite expensive to have executables signed this will be a known flaw for the time being.

Download/Run

Windows Download

Download the .zip archive, extract it, then click on the .exe file to run it.

Windows might give you a SmartScreen warning; Windows' SmartScreen doesn't like unsigned executables,
but since it's quite expensive to have executables signed this will be a known flaw for the time being.
