This page lists the latest versions of dune for Windows and other platforms.
Look for the Windows version in the list. The file usually ends with .exe. It might be named something like dune-setup.exe or dune-windows.exe.
Click the Windows .exe file to download. Wait for the download to finish before moving to the next step.
Find the downloaded file, usually in your "Downloads" folder. Double-click it to start the installation.

After the installation finishes, open dune. You can do this by:
- Finding dune in the Start Menu under “dune”.
- Or double-clicking the icon on your desktop if you chose to create one.
Once dune is open, you will see the main workspace with channels on the side. This is where you chat and manage work.
Channels are like chat rooms. You can create a new channel for each project or topic.
