SmartScreen
The installers are not code-signed yet, so a browser download triggers the warning. The one-line command and in-app updates do not. What SmartScreen means for Kyro.
Windows desktop wallet
Kyro for Windows
A private crypto wallet for 64-bit Windows. One command, or the installer. It installs for the current user and starts on its own.
Install
One command
It downloads the latest release from GitHub, checks its SHA-256 against SHA256SUMS and stops if they differ.
Windows · PowerShell
irm https://kyrowallet.com/install.ps1 | iexmacOS and Linux · Terminal
curl -fsSL https://kyrowallet.com/install.sh | shDownloads the latest release from GitHub, checks its SHA-256 against SHA256SUMS, then installs it. The scripts are open source: install.ps1 · install.sh (website/src).
Or the file
Install by hand
- Run the one-line command in PowerShell, or download
Kyro-windows-x64-setup.exe. - If you used the file, verify its SHA-256 first.
- SmartScreen may show “Windows protected your PC”. Click More info, then Run anyway.
- One Kyro window installs the app, starts it and closes. Kyro appears in the Start menu.
Kyro-windows-x64-setup.exe: Recommended, updates itself. Kyro-windows-x64.msi: For managed installs, no self-update.
Notes
Good to know on Windows
.exe or .msi
Prefer the .exe: it is the only Windows package that updates itself. The .msi does not.
Updates
The installed app downloads signed updates over Tor, verifies them and applies them when you close it.
Phrase window
The recovery phrase window is excluded from screenshots and screen sharing on Windows.
Same on every system
The full wallet, everywhere
The Windows build is the same Kyro: 36 blockchains, swaps, Earn, hardware wallets and Tor from the first launch. The interface is in English and French.
- No account and no analytics.
- Your recovery phrase stays on your computer, encrypted.
- Your phrase also restores your wallet on another system.
Questions
Common questions
Is Kyro safe to run if SmartScreen warns me?
The warning means the file is unsigned and has little reputation yet. It says nothing about the code either way. Verify the SHA-256 against SHA256SUMS before you click through.
Does Kyro need administrator rights?
No. The installer works for the current user.
Does Kyro run on 32-bit or ARM Windows?
Kyro publishes a 64-bit x64 build. That is the only Windows build.
