RenderGod Installation Guide

Complete step-by-step instructions for installing RenderGod on your Windows computer. Follow these instructions carefully to ensure a successful installation.

Download RenderGod

The first step is to download the latest version of RenderGod from the official website.

1. Navigate to https://rendergod.app/download in your web browser
2. Click the download button to get the latest installer
3. Save the installer file (RenderGod_Installer.exe) to a location you can easily find, such as your Downloads folder

Note: Always download RenderGod from the official website to ensure you're getting the legitimate, virus-free version.

Running the Installer

Once you've downloaded the installer, you're ready to begin the installation process.

Handling Windows Security Warnings

Because RenderGod is a new application, Windows may display a security warning identifying it as coming from an "unverified publisher" or "unknown publisher."

Important: RenderGod is completely safe and free from any viruses or malware. You can verify this with any antivirus software of your choice.

If you see this warning message:

1. Click the "More info" link to view additional details about the file
2. This will reveal more options including the ability to run the installer anyway

3. After clicking "More info", click the "Run anyway" button to proceed with the installation

Security Note: This warning appears because RenderGod is a new application and hasn't yet been widely distributed. The application is digitally signed and safe to install. If you're concerned, you can scan the installer with your antivirus software before proceeding.

Installation Wizard

After clicking "Run anyway", the RenderGod installation wizard will open.

Step 1: Welcome Screen

1. Review the welcome message
2. Click the "Next" button to proceed to the installation directory selection

Step 2: Choose Installation Location

1. The installer will suggest a default installation path (typically C:\Program Files\RenderGod)
2. Recommended: Leave the default installation path as-is unless you have a specific reason to change it
3. If you need to change the installation location:
   • Click "Browse" to select a different folder
   • Choose your desired installation directory
4. Click "Next" to continue

Tip: The default installation path is optimized for Windows system compatibility. Only change it if you have specific requirements, such as installing on a different drive.

Step 3: Installation Process

1. The installer will now begin copying files to your system
2. Wait for the installation to complete - you'll see a progress bar indicating the installation status
3. When the installation finishes, you'll see a "Completed!" message
4. Click "Next" to proceed to the final step

The installation process typically takes only a few seconds. During this time, RenderGod's core files, libraries, and dependencies are installed to your system.

Step 4: Installation Complete

Congratulations! RenderGod has been successfully installed on your computer.

Final Installation Options

Before clicking "Finish", you'll see two important checkboxes:

1. "Run RenderGod" - Recommended: Check this box to launch RenderGod immediately after installation
2. "Create desktop shortcut" - Recommended: Check this box to create a desktop shortcut for easy access

We recommend keeping both options checked so that:

• RenderGod launches automatically after installation completes
• A desktop shortcut is created for convenient future access

Completing the Installation

1. Ensure both checkboxes are checked (recommended)
2. Click "Finish" to close the installation wizard

If you checked "Run RenderGod", the application will launch automatically. If you created a desktop shortcut, you'll find it on your desktop for future use.

Post-Installation Verification

After installation, verify that RenderGod is working correctly:

1. Launch RenderGod either from the desktop shortcut or from the Start menu
2. The application should open to the main interface
3. You should see an empty render queue, ready for your first project
