Tuto Windows App

[swordfish654-ship-it]

Would it be possible to have a complete tutorial for installing the Windows version? I don't know how to do it, and a tutorial would be very welcome.

Hi @swordfish654-ship-it!

This is a Windows Defender SmartScreen warning - it appears because the app is new and not yet widely distributed. Here's how to install:

🛠️ Windows Installation Steps

Step 1: Download

Click the "Download App" button on worldmonitor.app or go directly to: https://worldmonitor.app/api/download?platform=windows-msi

Step 2: Bypass SmartScreen (The Blue Screen You See)

When you see "Windows protected your PC":

1. Click "More info" (the link at the bottom)
2. Click "Run anyway" button that appears

Step 3: Install

• Run the downloaded .msi file
• Follow the installation wizard
• The app will install and create a desktop shortcut

⚠️ Why This Happens

Windows shows this warning for apps that:

• Don't have a signed certificate (expensive for open source)
• Are newly released
• Haven't been downloaded by thousands of users yet

WorldMonitor is safe - it's open source and you can review the code here on GitHub!

🖥️ Alternative: Use the Web Version

If you prefer not to install, you can use the full web version:

• Main: https://worldmonitor.app
• Tech: https://tech.worldmonitor.app
• Finance: https://finance.worldmonitor.app

The web version has all the same features and works in your browser without installation.
