 ## Installing the official release
 
-Installation of RKWard on windows should be straight-forward: Simply download and run the [latest installer](https://download.kde.org/stable/rkward/0.7.3/win32/rkward-0.7.3-R-4.1.2-KF5-5.93.0.exe). The installer includes RKWard 0.7.3, R 4.1.2, and all required KF5 frameworks (version 5.93).

 Please note that **the installer may appear to "hang" around 70% completion**. This is just a problem with the progress bar not updating. Please be patient.
