  • Downloads the latest version from the Internet (no offline installation possible).

  • Installs a maintenance tool to easily download and install updates.

  • Creates start menu entries for LibrePCB and the maintenance tool.

  • Optionally registers *.lpp files, so LibrePCB projects can be opened with a double-click in the file manager.
