Installing CKAN on Windows

Installing and running

• Make sure you have .NET 4.5 installed

• Download ckan.exe (under "Assets") from the latest CKAN release

• Save ckan.exe somewhere you remember. People often place it inside the root of their KSP folder, on their Desktop, or in their user folder. Don't put it in GameData though.

• Run ckan.exe

Windows XP is not officially supported but there is an unofficial guide.

Dark theme

CKAN's colors are controlled by the Windows Control Panel's advanced appearance settings:

Microsoft removed this window in Windows 8 and later, but the settings are still there in the registry and still work. If you wish you could still edit these colors, consider letting Microsoft know how you feel about that decision as their customer. You can set the registry keys by importing .reg files:

• DarkTheme.reg - Install this to set a dark theme created for Windows users by the CKAN team:

• DefaultTheme.reg - Install this to revert to revert back to normal bright colors

Click Yes, then reboot to apply the settings.
