# Getting Started

Getting started is simple. Download the [latest release](https://github.com/radj307/volume-control/releases/latest), and proceed to the [installation instructions](#installation).
Getting started is simple. Download `VolumeControl-Installer.exe` from the [latest release](https://github.com/radj307/volume-control/releases/latest), and run it. It will guide you through the installation process.

## Manual Installation

## Installation
Download `VolumeControl.exe` from the [latest release](https://github.com/radj307/volume-control/releases/latest) and move it to a location of your choice.

*An installer is available as of version 6.0.0 Preview 9.1*

Because Volume Control is portable, there is no installation required.
Simply move `VolumeControl.exe` to a location of your choice, and run it.

If you're unsure about where to choose as a location, create a directory in your user folder and place it inside of that:
`C:\Users\<USERNAME>\VolumeControl\VolumeControl.exe`


## Setup
Before starting the program for the first time, you have to unblock the executable from the properties menu.

*If you're unsure, you can always run it through [VirusTotal](https://www.virustotal.com/gui/home/upload) first, or check the source code yourself.*
