Downloading & Installation
This initial guide will walk you through getting the application onto your computer and ready for your first login. The process is a standard application installation, similar to other software you use every day.
A Quick Note on Windows Security (SmartScreen Warning)
When you first run the AICORA_Setup.exe installer, you might see a blue pop-up from Windows Defender SmartScreen that says "Windows protected your PC".
Please do not worry. This is standard behavior for new applications that have not yet built a long-standing reputation with Microsoft.
Our application is completely safe and code-signed. To proceed with the installation, simply follow these two steps:
Click the More info link within the pop-up.
A new button, Run anyway, will appear. Click it to start the AICORA installation.
We are actively working with Microsoft to have AICORA recognized, which will remove this warning in future updates. Your security is our top priority.
Step 1: Download the AICORA Client
Navigate to our official website: aicora.net
On the homepage, click the prominent DOWNLOAD FOR WINDOWS button. Your browser will begin downloading the application installer, AICORA_Setup_[version].exe.
Step 2: Installing the Application
Now we'll run the installer. This is a straightforward process, but we have one important recommendation.
Locate the downloaded file (AICORA_Setup_[version].exe) in your computer's "Downloads" folder and double-click it to begin the installation.
Select Destination Location: The installer will ask where you want to install AICORA.
â ïļ Important Recommendation: We strongly recommend installing AICORA on a drive other than your main C: drive (for example, D:\AICORA). This can help prevent potential permission issues and ensures AICORA's data files don't clutter your system drive. Click Browse... to select a new location, then click Next.
Select Start Menu Folder: This step creates a shortcut in your Windows Start Menu for easy access. You can leave the default setting (AICORA) and simply click Next.
Select Additional Tasks: Here, you have the option to create a desktop shortcut. We recommend keeping Create a desktop shortcut checked for convenience. Click Next.
Ready to Install: The installer will show you a summary of your selected settings. If everything looks correct, click the Install button to begin the file extraction and installation.
After a few moments, the installation will be complete.
Step 3: Understanding the AICORA Folder
Once the installation is finished, you can navigate to the folder where you installed AICORA (e.g., D:\AICORA). Inside, you will see several files and folders. Hereâs a quick explanation of what they are so you know what you're looking at:
AICORA.exe: This is the main application. This is the file you will double-click to launch the AICORA client. The desktop and Start Menu shortcuts will point to this file.
source: This folder is where AICORA stores important assets and, most importantly, where the output from the Telegram Spider will be saved (source/spider_output). You'll interact with this folder when using generated scripts.
And with that, AICORA is fully installed! In the next section, we'll cover your First Login and The Free Tier.
