Getting started

Installing Nirnoy Rx

Putting Nirnoy Rx on a Windows or Mac computer, and what it asks the first time it opens.


Nirnoy Rx installs on your own computer — there is no website to log into. Once the file is downloaded it installs with no internet at all.

On Windows

  1. Download NirnoyRx-Setup.exe from nirnoyrx.com.
  2. Double-click it. If Windows says the publisher is unknown, choose More info → Run anyway.
  3. When it asks where to install, the default is right.
  4. When it finishes, the icon is on your desktop.
That SmartScreen message is normal — a new signature takes time to build a reputation. Always download the file from nirnoyrx.com and nowhere else.

On a Mac

  1. Download and open NirnoyRx.dmg.
  2. Drag the Nirnoy Rx icon into your Applications folder.
  3. The first time, right-click the icon and choose Open.

The first time it opens

It asks for three things: a recovery passphrase, your name and degrees, and at least one chamber. The passphrase matters more than it looks — without it no backup can ever be opened, and that includes by us. Write it down, and keep it somewhere that is not the chamber.
