Installing
EyeCommander includes an installer that will automatically add EyeCommander to your system. Every version of EyeCommander is published as a release on Github. You can see the releases on Github here. The release at the top is the most recent.
If you are Windows then you should download the file named EyeCommander-x.x.x.Setup.exe. If you are on OSx then you should use the file EyeCommander.dmg. Once you have downloaded these files then you should open them and they will install EyeCommander for you.
Once you have EyeCommander installed you will be prompted to install an update automatically everytime one is available.
