Install mobrule on Windows

mobrule ships as a single NSIS installer (Mobrule_x.y.z_x64-setup.exe). It installs per-user — no administrator prompt — and bundles both the Dashboard and the bridge daemon.

Double-click the downloaded *-setup.exe and follow the wizard: accept the license, confirm the install folder, and let it finish. Because the install is per-user it lands under your own profile and never asks for elevation.

The SmartScreen “unknown publisher” warning is expected

Section titled “The SmartScreen “unknown publisher” warning is expected”

The v1.0 installer is unsigned. Windows SmartScreen will show a blue “Windows protected your PC” dialog naming an unknown publisher the first time you run it. This is expected for an unsigned build — it is not a sign that the download is corrupt or compromised.

To proceed, click More info, then Run anyway. If you would rather not, download only from the official release page and check the published checksum before running.

A signed installer (which removes this warning) is planned for a later release.

The Dashboard renders through Microsoft’s WebView2 runtime. The installer provisions it for you — if WebView2 is missing it downloads and installs the runtime as part of setup, so you do not need to install it separately.
