Manual:Huggle/Installation

Huggle is very easy to install.


 * Step 1: (required on some wikis only) add the text  to Special:MyPage/huggle.yaml.js on the project where you want to use Huggle. For example, if you are using Huggle on the English Wikipedia, go to en:Special:MyPage/huggle.yaml.js. on the project where you want to use Huggle (the project needs to have Huggle installed, in case you need to enable it there, please contact developers in ). This enables Huggle to run on your user account.


 * Step 2: Go to the download page and download the latest stable version for your operating system.


 * Step 3: Follow the instructions on download page in order to install Huggle

That's it! Huggle should be fully operational.

Windows
Huggle is distributed in 3 flavors for windows:
 * MSVC-32: Windows Vista and newer for 32-bit CPU
 * MSVC-64: Windows Vista and newer for 64-bit CPU
 * MinGW-32: All Windows versions for 32-bit CPU, may run slower than the MSVC versions

If you are switching between MinGW and MSVC versions, you may need to purge your current Huggle (uninstall and delete all leftovers from Program Files) prior to re-installation of Huggle.
