Installing the Octo Browser Client App​

After completing the registration, you need to download the up-to-date Octo Browser installer for your operating system from our official website.

IMPORTANT

  • Please download the installer only from our official site following the link above.
  • Octo Browser does not have trial versions or periods, and licenses are activated on the server. If you are offered to run an activator to obtain a license, you are being scammed, and your PC data may be in danger.

Windows Installation​

  • Run the downloaded installer (run as Administrator by default).
  • Install Octo Browser into the suggested directory by default ( C:\Program Files\Octo Browser ).
  • Wait for the installation to finish.
  • A shortcut to launch the Octo Browser Client will be created on your desktop.

IMPORTANT!

Do not change the installation path. Octo Browser must be installed into the default folder for correct operation.

To perform a "silent" Octo Browser installation using the terminal, run the .exe installer with the "qn" flag.

Example for Powershell:

& '.\Octo_Browser_latest_win.exe' /qn
