The best way to install higan
|
||||||
|
depends on what platform you're using,
|
||||||
|
as well as whether you want to use official binaries
|
||||||
|
or compile the source-code from scratch.

Once you have a suitable archiving tool,
|
||||||
|
extract the contents of the higan archive into a new directory.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
When you're done,
|
||||||
|
the new directory should contain `higan.exe` and `icarus.exe`
|
||||||
|
along with other assorted files and directories
|
||||||
|
that describe the systems higan emulates.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You may put that directory wherever you like.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To run higan, open the `higan.exe` file.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Before you can actually play games,
|
||||||
|
you'll need to [import them][#importing-games]
|
||||||
|
and [configure higan][#configuring-higan].

Uninstalling an official release on Windows
|
||||||
|
-------------------------------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Delete the directory containing `higan.exe`
|
||||||
|
and the other associated data from the original archive.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To remove higan's configuration:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. Press Win+R to open the Run dialog
|
||||||
|
2. Type `%APPDATA%` and press Enter
|
||||||
|
to open the folder where higan's configuration data lives
|
||||||
|
3. Delete the subdirectories named `icarus` and `higan`
|
||||||
|
if they exist.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You might also want to remove the games imported into higan's library
|
||||||
|
(including in-game saves and save-states):
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. Press Win+R to open the Run dialog
|
||||||
|
2. Type `%USERPROFILE%` and press Enter
|
||||||
|
to open the folder where higan keeps its game library
|
||||||
|
3. Delete the subdirectory named `Emulation` if it exists

Official higan releases are distributed in [7-zip][7z] archives.
|
||||||
|
You will need to install 7-zip,
|
||||||
|
or another compatible archiving tool,
|
||||||
|
to extract the higan source code.
|
||||||
|
Alternatively,
|
||||||
|
you may obtain higan source code from
|
||||||
|
[the unofficial git repo](https://gitlab.com/higan/higan/)
|
||||||
|
using the Git source-code management tool,
|
||||||
|
or by clicking the download button on the right-hand side of the web-page
|
||||||
|
and choosing an archive format.

- isn't there some bug with building higan for 32-bit Windows?
