How to install Pacedex

Lightweight, done in a couple of minutes. Follow the 5 steps — step 2 is the one that trips people up, so read it carefully.

1

Download the installer

On pacedex.com, click Download free · Windows. The file Pacedex-Setup.exe lands in your Downloads folder.

Windows may block it — that's normal

⚠️Pacedex isn't code-signed yet, so Windows is wary of a brand-new app. It's not a virus. Just get past the warning:

a) If your browser warns the download is dangerous, click the next to the file and choose Keep.

In the browser
Pacedex-Setup.exe
Keep Discard

b) If you see the blue "Windows protected your PC" screen, click More info, then Run anyway.
