1. Open the [latest release](https://github.com/storytold/lightcraft/releases/latest).
2. Download `lightcraft-<version>-windows-x64.msi`. It fits most PCs (Intel and AMD, 64-bit).
3. Run the file. The installer asks where to install. The default is `C:\Program Files\LightCraft`, and upgrades stay in the folder you chose.
3. Run the file. The first page asks who to install LightCraft for. "Only for me" is the default: it needs no administrator permission and installs to `%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\ArtCraft\LightCraft`. "Everyone on this computer" asks for an administrator and installs to `C:\Program Files\ArtCraft\LightCraft`. Upgrades stay in the folder you chose.
4. At the end, choose the option to start LightCraft.
For a Snapdragon or other Arm PC, download `lightcraft-<version>-windows-arm64.msi` instead. For a 32-bit Windows, download `lightcraft-<version>-windows-x86.msi`.
Upgrading from an installer older than 0.6.0 also keeps LightCraft in the folder it was installed in. If that folder was deleted, the upgrade installs to `C:\Program Files\LightCraft`.
Upgrading from an installer older than 0.6.0 also keeps LightCraft in the folder it was installed in. If that folder was deleted, the upgrade installs to the default folder for the scope you choose.
To run it without installing, download `lightcraft-<version>-windows-x64-portable.zip`. Portable builds for `arm64` and `x86` are on the release page too.
