Installing Kando on Windows

Play

On Windows, you can either install Kando via an installer or by downloading a ZIP archive. You can follow the steps below or watch the video above to get started!

Installation via the Installer

1. Just head over to the releases page and download the latest installer. It’s the file which ends in *.Setup.exe file.

2. Double-click the downloaded file to start the installation process. Windows will show a warning because the executable is not signed. Just click on “More info” and then on “Run anyway”. Not much will happen, as the installation process is very minimal and does not require any user interaction.

3. After the installation, you will find Kando in your start menu. Just click on the Kando icon to start the application. Not much will happen, as Kando is a tray application and will run in the background.

4. You can now start using Kando! Just press Ctrl + Space to open the example menu!

Installation via the ZIP Archive

2. Extract the archive to any directory you like.

3. Run the kando.exe executable from the extracted directory. Windows will show a warning because the executable is not signed. Just click on “More info” and then on “Run anyway”. Besides, not much will happen, as Kando is a tray application and will run in the background.
