Aside from the docker-based installer, there will be a standalone electron based installer. Check it out here: [GitHub - openUC2/ImSwitchInstaller: An installer for ImSwitch based on Electron](https://github.com/openUC2/ImSwitchInstaller/)

I’m a student at SDU working on a project using the electronics, and discovery boxes. I’m having issues with the installer, when i click “install ImSwitch” it doesn’t do anything (I’m running version 1.3.9 from the exe file). I’m also having a separate issue where i cant install the software for the HIK MV-CE060-10UC camera, as the link provided by [https://youseetoo.github.io/](https://youseetoo.github.io/) does not lead to an existing page.

Hey @Amber thanks for reporting it. This is already quite outdated unfortunately. The best way to get you starting is using UV. For this you also need to install the camera drivers for the HIK.

Let me know if this works for you.
