You can find the installation instructions [here](https://github.com/Jackett/Jackett#installation-on-windows). It's really recommended to install Jackett as a system service. In this way it will start automatically when you start the computer and it will always be up to date.

Once Jackett is installed. You can open the Web UI to configure the torrent sites. The Jackett URL is usually http://127.0.0.1:9117 The next step is to set up your favorite torrent sites. Click the "Add indexer" button and follow the instructions.

You have to add the indexers one by one. The name can be anything. The Toznab URL and API Key are copied from the Jackett Web UI.

If some indexer is not working as expected (or you don't get results at all) check the qBittorrent and Jackett logs for further details.
