# Installation

## Prerequisites

* Windows 10
* Microsoft WebView 2 Runtime ([download here](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=2124703))

{% hint style="info" %}
If you are using Mac, you could setup a virtual machine by yourself in order to use BotManager or simply get a cheap VPS. We recommend [Vultr](https://www.vultr.com/?ref=8921590-6G) or [Contabo](https://contabo.com/en) for this.
{% endhint %}

## How do I get it?

Get the installer [here](https://marcdrexler.blob.core.windows.net/botmanager/MD.CryptoTools.BotManager.application).

Once installed, you will receive updates automatically. There is an update check every time the application is started and in the background. 

{% hint style="info" %}
Since the installation package is not yet signed with a public certificate, a warning from Windows Smart Screen is displayed. You can safely ignore this warning and continue.
