📝 Setup Instructions

  1. Download and extract the release FiBridge_v1.0.0_x64_win.zip. No installation needed.
  2. Generate SSH certificates (necessary for local https services).
    • Open a command prompt in the root directory (where FiBridge_v1.0.0_x64_win.exe is located) and run:
    cd _internal
    scripts\generate_cert.bat
    
    • Follow the prompts to enter country, email, etc. Press Enter for defaults.
    • After completion, certificates (cert.pem and key.pem) for HTTPS features will be generated in the _internal/ directory.
  3. Double click FiBridge_v1.0.0_x64_win.exe to start the app. If prompted with Unknown Software notices, click "Run Anyway".
  4. Open the "About" tab in the app, and click "Open Help Document" for how to use the app.
  5. (Optional) Potrace is needed when saving QR code, drawing, or signatures to vectors. Install it from http://potrace.sourceforge.net. Make sure its installation path is added to your system's PATH environment variable.

⚠️ Notes

  1. If certificates are missing, HTTPS features (like remote scan) will not work. Make sure the two .pem files mentioned above exist in the _internal/ folder. Otherwise, follow README.txt to regenerate.
  2. The app completely runs on local machine and has no access to the Internet. Feel free to click "Run Anyway" when Windows prompts "Unknown Software" notices and give it access to local & public network access when asked.
  3. Since using self-signed SSL certificates, your browser may prompt that the connection is in risk. Feel free to "ignore" or "proceed anyway" after selecting "advanced options". No actual risk is involved if you generated the certificate by your own and if you run the app locally.
