# Install Presetti

> Download the Presetti installer for Windows, check it came from presetti.app, and get past the SmartScreen warning.

Presetti runs on Windows today. The macOS version is in development: on the [download page](https://presetti.app/download), choose **Notify me** under macOS to get an email when it's ready.

## Download the installer

Go to the [download page](https://presetti.app/download) and choose **Download** under Windows. The installer is free and doesn't need an account.

## Get past SmartScreen

Presetti isn't code-signed yet, so Windows may show **Windows protected your PC** when you run the installer. That's normal for a new publisher, but check two things before you continue:

1. The file came from **presetti.app**.
2. Its name starts with **Presetti-setup-** and ends in **-alpha.exe**.

Then choose **More info**, and **Run anyway**.

Some computers block unsigned apps completely: Smart App Control, or a work PC managed by someone else. If there's no **Run anyway** button, Presetti can't be installed on that computer until a signed build ships. Don't turn off security settings on a computer you don't manage.

## Open Presetti

When the installer finishes, open Presetti. It starts on the **Library** tab with an empty library. Next, [find your synths](https://presetti.app/guide/library/scan-plugins).
