Windows Installation

Installation Instructions

1. Install and Run the Luzid Backend

Open a WSL terminal in admin mode as shown in the below screenshot:

wsl-as-admin

Then run the script provided on the main installation page in order to install the Linux version.

Now launch it via luzid.

NOTE: this will also install the /usr/local/bin/luzidui and /usr/local/lib/luzidui/ which only works on Linux. You can remove that if you want.


2. Download and Extract the LuzidUI

Next download the LuzidUI from here, extract it to a directory of your choice and launch the luzidui.exe from inside the extracted luzidui directory.

3. Run the LuzidUI and work through Windows Warning Dialog

The very first time you'll most likely see a below warning, which you can work around by clicking More Info and then Run Anyway as shown in the screenshots below:

Install Missing Dependencies

In case you're missing Windows developer tools you'll see the following prompt:

missing-dotnet-dll

If you encounter this install the Latest Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Version and make sure to select a downloadable that matches your architecture.


4. Run LuzidUI and Connect it to the Luzid Backend

Now try to start the UI again and it should connect to the backend running in the WSL terminal. Go to Transactions and click the Anchor Tic Tac Toe link to play around with the app while keeping an eye on Luzid.
