If you’ve just downloaded my app and are wondering how to set it up, this guide will walk you through the entire process. Don’t worry — it only takes a few minutes!
📥 1. Download the App
The first step is to grab the latest version of the app from the GitHub repository.
- Go to the GitHub Releases Page
- Download the latest .zip file (this contains the executable).
Think of the executable (.exe) as the main file that runs the software.
📂 2. Extract the Zip File
After downloading, you’ll have a compressed .zip file.
- Right-click the file and select Extract All (Windows) or use your system’s unzip tool.
- Choose a folder where you want to keep the app.
Now you’ll see the executable file along with a few supporting files.
🔑 3. Copy the License File
The app requires a valid license to run.
- Copy your license file into the same folder where you extracted the app.
- Without this file, the app won’t be able to activate.
⚙️ 4. Configure Your Credentials (CReD.yml)
This step is very important.
Inside the app folder, you’ll find a file named CReD.yml. This is a configuration file where you store your login credentials and API details.
- Open CReD.yml with a text editor (like Notepad).
- Fill in the following:
- Username / Email
- Password
- API keys / secrets (provided by your broker or service)
- Totp → This is not the 4-digit OTP you get by SMS or email. Instead, it’s the Authenticator App code (from Google Authenticator, Authy, etc.) that changes every 30 seconds.
✅ Tip: Make sure you save the file after editing.
▶️ 5. Launch the App
Once everything is ready:
- Double-click the .exe file inside the folder.
- The app will open.
- Click the Login button.
- If your credentials are correct, you’ll be logged in and ready to use the app 🎉
🚀 You’re All Set!
That’s it! You’ve successfully installed and configured the app. From here, you can start exploring all its features.
Whenever you update the app (by downloading a new release), just repeat steps 2–5.
✅ Pro Tip for Beginners
If you ever get stuck, check these common issues:
- Wrong folder path (license file not in the same folder).
- CReD.yml file has formatting errors.
- Using SMS/email OTP instead of the Authenticator code.
This guide should help anyone, even if they are new to GitHub or technical tools.
