Requirements
Before deploying the software, make sure the deployment target meets the Requirements.
Downloading ByteSync
You can download ByteSync from the home page of the website. We provide 2 types of packages to download for Windows :
- A portable version to unzip
The name of the download is “ByteSync – Windows x64 – Portable”.
The portable version allows you to avoid installing the software. The software is not integrated into the system. It must be run from the directory in which it was unzipped. - An installable version to install
The name of the download is “ByteSync – Windows x64 – Setup”.
With the installable version, the software is integrated into the system. Shortcuts can be created and certain entries are made in the registry.
Deploying the portable version
Download the portable version. Unzip the downloaded file. You will only need to run “ByteSync.exe” to start the software.
It is recommended that you unzip the software into a dedicated directory.
Deploying the installable version
Download the installable version. Unzip the downloaded file and run “ByteSync Setup.exe” to start the installation. Follow the steps in the installer to complete the installation.
Once the installation is complete, you will find the “ByteSync” shortcut in the Windows Start menu.
Updating ByteSync
When a new version is available, a button appears on the application’s main window. Click this button to open the update management panel. This panel lists the available updates, each with:
- A link to the release notes
- A button to start the automatic updates
When you click the update button, the update is downloaded, installed and ByteSync restarts automatically.
