- Open the download page and click “Download free for Windows”. The link always downloads the latest final installer directly from the Sonodex server, not a beta.
- Double-click the downloaded file
Crateflow-Setup-<Version>.exeto open it. - If Windows SmartScreen shows a warning, choose “More info” and then “Run anyway” (see below).
- Choose the target folder in the installer. Sonodex is installed for your Windows user account and creates a “Sonodex” desktop shortcut.
- Finally, Sonodex starts. On first launch, a short introduction tour shows you the most important areas.
You can also use the download address directly:

The installer is not yet signed with a purchased code-signing certificate. Windows SmartScreen therefore warns you on first launch. Here is how to continue:
- In the warning, click “More info”.
- Click “Run anyway”.
Virus scanner flags the installerLink to “Virus scanner flags the installer”
Because the installer is unsigned, Microsoft Defender or another virus scanner may wrongly classify it as suspicious. In that case, download the installer again via the download page and report the false positive to Microsoft:

Without administrator rightsLink to “Without administrator rights”
The installer does not ask for administrator rights: Sonodex is installed for your user account only. Your library is in your user account’s data folder; Settings → General shows which one under “Data folder”.
