How to install Libiry

Windows

Option A

Download LibirySetup.exe from https://github.com/Sappelen/Libiry/releasesand run it

Tips:

  1. Windows may show a warning. Click ‘More info’ → ‘Run anyway’. This is normal for new software without a commercial certificate
  2. In Settings → Apps → Advanced app settings, set “Where to get apps” to “Anywhere” (or “Anywhere, but let me know if there’s a comparable app in the Store”)
  3. Right-click on LibirySetup.exe. Go to Properties. At the bottom of the General tab: check Unblock
  4. On corporate machines with strict policies, Windows may block the app completely. In that case, you can use Option B

Option B

  1. Download Python from python.org/downloads. During installation, check “Add Python to PATH”. If needed, 1.7 Troubleshooting gives a more detailed instruction
  2. Download the latest Libiry zip file from https://github.com/Sappelen/Libiry/releases
  3. Right-click the ZIP → Extract All. The location doesn’t matter. The downloads folder is fine
  4. Open the extracted folder in File Explorer. Click the address bar at the top, type cmd, press Enter. A Command Prompt opens in that folder
  5. Type exactly: powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File install.ps1
  6. Press Enter. The installation takes about two minutes
  7. A Libiry shortcut appears on your desktop
  8. You can now delete the extracted folder
