# Installation

## Preparation

First, be sure to meet all hardware and software [requirements](broken://pages/i2YVsRqOHhzqig2d0OaJ).

## Get installer

You can get the latest Windows package for your distribution from WedoLow's sales.

## Installation

{% hint style="warning" %}
Docker must be running during installation.
{% endhint %}

First, unzip the downloaded *.zip* archive in a directory of your machine, and run the *.msi* file extracted from the archive by double-clicking on it.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Unzipping the archive is compulsory, running the *.msi* file directly from the archive will make the installation fail.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.wedolow.com/documentation/below/installation-guide/installation-instructions/windows/installation.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
