Install Code Diary on Windows

Use the standard installer or the portable executable, verify the release with a single PowerShell command, and connect the desktop app to your Ambryonic account.

1. 1

   Pick a package. The installer adds Start Menu and desktop shortcuts; the portable .exe runs from any folder without installing. Download either with the buttons above, or fetch the installer from a PowerShell window:

   Download the installer (PowerShell)

   Copy

   Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://github.com/Ambryonic/code-diary-releases/releases/download/v1.5.5/Code.Diary.Setup.1.5.5.exe" -OutFile "$HOME\Downloads\Code.Diary.Setup.1.5.5.exe"

2. 2

   Verify the download matches the SHA-512 checksum shown on the downloads page before you run it:

   Verify the checksum (PowerShell)

   Copy

   Get-FileHash -Algorithm SHA512 "$HOME\Downloads\Code.Diary.Setup.1.5.5.exe" | Format-List

3. 3

   Install it: double-click "Code Diary Setup 1.5.5.exe" and follow the prompts. If a blue "Windows protected your PC" screen appears, click "More info", then "Run anyway" — the app is not code-signed yet.

4. 4

   Prefer no installation? Run the portable build "Code Diary 1.5.5.exe" directly. It needs no admin rights and can live on a USB drive.

5. 5

   Launch Code Diary, sign in with your Ambryonic account, then create a test entry and try the copy action.
