### Typical Binary Installation (recommended)

:arrow\_down: [**Download Keeper Commander .exe file from GitHub**](https://github.com/Keeper-Security/Commander/releases)

On the Commander Github page, the current commander build is always available via the [releases link](https://github.com/Keeper-Security/Commander/releases).

The binary download is the file named:\
\
`keeper-commander-windows-vX.XX.exe`

{% hint style="info" %}
Note about Windows installs:\
\- You may have to right click on the executable and go to properties to unblock the file.\
\- You need to have admin rights to install Commander\
\- Sometimes antivirus may block the files, create a one time exception to install as needed
{% endhint %}

### Python (PIP) installation

#### Setup with Python3:

Download the current version of Python from <https://www.python.org/>

{% hint style="info" %}
On the first screen of the installation, opt-in to **include python.exe in the PATH**
{% endhint %}

Validate Python is correctly installed by checking the installed version from launching the cmd prompt.

```
pip3 --version
```

From the command prompt or Powershell, install Keeper Commander with pip3:

```
pip3 install keepercommander
```

Login to Keeper in order to validate Keeper Commander is properly installed:
