Installation

Note

Please note that there might be a security warning when downloading and executing the installer due to the lack of code signing. This is because obtaining a certificate for code signing is prohibitively expensive.

Once the application is started, it will check for new versions. Once a new version is available, it will be installed on the next launch automatically.
