Compare the SHA-256 of the file you downloaded with the checksum listed above. A mismatch means the file is incomplete or was altered, so don't run it.

Check in your browser

Drop the file here. It is hashed locally and never uploaded.

Check with PowerShell

Get-FileHash .\WaveRacer-Setup.exe -Algorithm SHA256

Or Command Prompt

certutil -hashfile WaveRacer-Setup.exe SHA256

Hash case doesn't matter: 7ADD… and 7add… are the same.

Installing

  1. Run WaveRacer-Setup.exe. The installer is currently unsigned, so Windows SmartScreen may warn you. Verify the checksum first, then choose More info → Run anyway.
  2. Follow the wizard. It installs to %USERPROFILE%\Applications\WaveRacer and adds desktop and Start menu shortcuts. No admin rights are needed for the player itself.
  3. That's it. FFmpeg, Node.js, yt-dlp and spotDL come inside the installer, so YouTube, Bandcamp and Spotify import work right away. If you're online, setup also updates yt-dlp and adds scdl for SoundCloud import.

Updating? Run the new installer over the old one. Your music, playlists, queue and settings are kept. Uninstall from Windows Settings → Installed apps; your music stays put.
