🖥️ Installation Steps

Step 1: Open the Download Page

When you click the download link, you'll see a page with different versions of the application. Look for the newest version at the top – it usually has a green "Latest" label next to it.

Step 2: Find the Right File

On the version page, you'll see a section called "Assets" or "Downloads." Look for a file that ends with .exe – this is the program you need. If you see multiple files, choose the one with "Windows" or "win" in the name.
