If Windows shows a blue warning, choose More info, then Run anyway
Windows shows this SmartScreen notice for new apps that few people have installed yet. If you are unsure, write to support@koltype.com before you run it.

(Get-FileHash "$HOME\Downloads\KoltypeSetup.exe").Hash -eq "32D7EB43D34888F8ED0D5D9A2D88C3FB29CC03E45E5137C9ACD99E181C6B517C"The line compares your copy with the SHA-256 fingerprint of the original file, the long code at its end. If it shows False or a red error, check that the file is in your Downloads folder and is called exactly KoltypeSetup.exe. If it still shows False, do not run it, and write to support@koltype.com.
Follow the short setup
Koltype installs for your Windows user only (no administrator rights needed), adds itself to the Start menu and starts with Windows. You can change that in Settings.
