Installing

What you need

• Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit.
• A Hermes Lite 2 on your network.

Install

1. Download Kainos--x64.msi from the Releases page.
2. Run it. A newer version installs over an older one and keeps your settings.

Kainos and Thetis side by side

Kainos keeps everything separate from Thetis, so you can have both on the same PC:

	Thetis	Kainos
Program	Thetis.exe	Kainos.exe (in Program Files\OpenHPSDR\Kainos-HL2)
Settings	%APPDATA%\OpenHPSDR\Thetis-x64	%APPDATA%\OpenHPSDR\Kainos-x64

The Kainos installer doesn't change or remove Thetis. Run only one of them at a time with the radio.

Updating

Kainos checks for a new version once a day and shows what's new, with Download, Later and Skip this version. You can also check any time from Setup > Check for updates. See Backups and Updates.

Uninstalling

Use Settings > Apps in Windows. Your settings folder (%APPDATA%\OpenHPSDR\Kainos-x64) is left in place; delete it too if you want a completely fresh start next time.
