We hope that you enjoy it, and if you want to contribute, you're welcome to donate on GitHub Sponsors.
Before Installing the Software
We recommend to install our self-signed certificate or to make an SHA verification, specially if you downloaded the software for a non-official mirror.
Digital Certificate (Recommended)
Usually Windows software is distributed with Digital Signatures to prevent identity usurpation and avoid malware injection. Such certificates, are obtained by a company, and then signed by trusted certification authorities.
In our case, since this is a free project, we did not to invested hundreds of dollars per year, to sign it by a trusted authority, so it is necessary to manually install it.
Please note that this is not mandatory, but strongly recommended. If you install our certificate, Windows will be able to automatically verify the origin of our software.
To Install our certificate, just download it, double-click on it and click "install".
SHA Verification
- You can find the expected hash, under the releases > version page.
- You can use the following command from a PowerShell to verify the hash:
if ((Get-FileHash -Algorithm SHA256 "C:\path\phantom_file").Hash -eq "expected_hash") { "OK" } else { "FAIL" }
How to install
After installing the certificate, just double-click on the installer and follow the installation.
