Installation of the client

First steps are easy ;)

Depending on the existing operating system, the client must be installed like any application under this operating system. During installation, a background process is installed that performs the calculation according to user settings.

Running as a background process ensures that the client is executed each time the system starts and can perform its calculations if the system has the capacity to do so.

Start the downloaded file and confirm the installation routine dialogs. For Windows there is a detailed (English) manual:

After installation, the client is automatically executed in the background and a first configuration dialog is displayed. A first overview is opened in your browser. This overview can also be displayed later by calling the page
