Installation

Reducord is distributed as a portable standalone executable. There is no complex installer required, just download and run.

🚀 Standard Installation (Recommended)

1. Go to Releases: Navigate to the Releases page of this repository.
2. Download: Find the latest version (e.g., v0.1.0) and download the reducord.exe file from the Assets section.
3. Move to Folder: We recommend placing the .exe in its own folder (e.g., C:\Tools\Reducord\), as it may create a small configuration file in the future.
4. Run: Double-click reducord.exe to start the application.

Important

Administrator Privileges: While basic cache cleaning works with standard permissions, you may need to run Reducord as an Administrator to use advanced features like "Process Priority Boosting" (coming in v0.2.0).

🛡️ Security & Windows SmartScreen

Since Reducord is a new open-source project and the executable is not yet signed with a paid Microsoft certificate, you might see a blue "Windows protected your PC" popup.

To bypass this:

1. Click on "More info".
2. Click "Run anyway".

You can always verify the safety of the app by checking the source code here on GitHub and building it yourself.

📋 Requirements

• Operating System: Windows 10 or Windows 11 (64-bit).
• Graphics: A GPU compatible with DirectX 11.
• Dependencies: Reducord is statically linked, so you don't need to install extra Visual C++ Redistributables in most cases.

🔄 How to Update

We're currently not supporting automatic updates. To update Reducord, simply:

1. Close the application if it's running.
2. Download the new version of reducord.exe from the Releases page.
3. Replace the old file with the new one.
