⚠️ Unsigned Installer Notice

The current Windows installer is unsigned, which may trigger warnings during download or installation. To ensure the installer has not been tampered with, please verify its integrity using the SHA-256 hash listed on the release page.

Example on Windows PowerShell:

Get-FileHash ImagePerfectInstaller-v1.0-beta.exe -Algorithm SHA256

Compare the output to the hash shown in the release notes. If they match, the installer is safe to run.

💡 Additional Security Notes:

Built from Source: The installer is generated directly from the source code in this repository, so you can inspect the code yourself before running the installer.

Official Releases Only: Always download installers from the official GitHub release page to avoid tampered copies.

Option 2: Manual Setup (Advanced Users)

  1. Install and Configure MySQL: Follow the MySQL setup instructions and execute the schema commands.
  2. Build and Install ImagePerfect: Follow The Build And Install Directions
  3. Run ImagePerfect.exe from the build output folder.
