Installation

Install via the PortableApps.com Platform

After downloading the .paf.exe installer navigate to your PortableApps.com platform Apps Menu ❶ and select Install a new app (paf.exe) ❷.

From the dialog choose the previously downloaded .paf.exe file. ❸

After a short while the installation dialog will appear.

Install outside of the PortableApps.com Platform

The Packages found under the release page are not digitally signed so there the installation is a bit involved.

After downloading the .paf.exe installer trying to install may result in a windows defender warning.
