-Download ''saltbush-1.6.0-windows-x64-setup.exe'' and run it.

+  * **Just for me** installs under ''%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\Saltbush Terminal'' with no administrator rights needed.
+  * **Everyone on this computer** installs under ''C:\Program Files\Saltbush Terminal'' with a Start menu entry for every user. Windows asks for administrator rights.
+Either way **Saltbush Terminal** is added to the Start menu and each user keeps their own settings. An update keeps the choice you made last time. For a scripted install, ''/S /ALLUSERS'' or ''/S /CURRENTUSER'' chooses without asking.

+  * **Update Now** downloads the new version over https, checks it against its published checksum and installs it (from 1.9.2, a download that is not https or has no checksum is refused):
     * Debian package: it installs the new ''.deb'' and asks for your password (the normal system password prompt). Then choose **Restart Now**, or keep working and restart later.
     * Windows installer: the new setup program starts and Saltbush Terminal closes so the files can be replaced. Follow the installer and start Saltbush again.
