Download and install

Windows

  1. Open the latest release.
  2. Download either the Windows .msi installer or the portable bytecoin-wallet-win64.zip.
  3. Optionally download SHA256SUMS.txt from the same release and verify the file's SHA-256 checksum before opening it.
  4. For the MSI, run the installer and follow its prompts. For the portable ZIP, extract the entire archive to a folder you can write to, then run bytecoin-gui.exe from that folder.

The installer is not code-signed, so Windows may display an unknown-publisher or SmartScreen warning. Only proceed if you obtained the file from the project's official GitHub release and verified its checksum.

The portable package should remain together after extraction: do not move the executable by itself away from its supporting files.

Other operating systems

The release bundle described here provides Windows downloads. For macOS or Linux, see Build from source; do not assume a Windows installer will run on those systems.

Check a SHA-256 checksum

Compare the downloaded file's SHA-256 value with the matching filename in the release's SHA256SUMS.txt. On Windows PowerShell, run:

Get-FileHash .\Bytecoin-Wallet-3.6.0-bytecoin.world-Community-Edition-win64.msi -Algorithm SHA256

The computed hash must match the release manifest exactly. If it does not, do not run the file; download it again from the official release.
