Installing the Application

Installing the Astroneer Launcher is made simple and easy. It's the normal Windows application setup that you're used to, with just a few special considerations.

Please Note: We are in the process of digitally signing our applications with OV Code Certificates. Some of the considerations mentioned in this guide are specifically mentioned due to the lack of digital signing and may not present themselves in the future.

Step-by-Step Guide

Step One: Windows Security
