Download the most recent release by going here and clicking on HobbitInstaller.zip. Once it's downloaded go to your download folder with the windows file explorer then right click HobbitInstaller.zip. Press "Extract All" and a new window will pop up. Click "extract on this window" and you should see a new folder named HobbitInstaller. Open the folder and open HobbitInstaller.exe. Now just click "Install" and HobbitInstaller will do the rest.
Optionally you can check "Show Options" in HobbitInstaller to choose where everything installs and if you want shortcuts. Do not use this unless you have a good reason to.
If you run into any problems feel free to reach out to me on Discord (MKarma#0001). Make sure you screenshot whatever error message you might get. Be aware that the files this installer uses are self hosted, so in the case of a lot of traffic things could potentially slow down or break.
