Running the installer will install Unimus on your computer - just like any other program.
This includes installing Unimus as a service, so it will automatically run when your PC starts.

This article describes the installation process.

Portable

You can also run Unimus in portable (standalone) mode - you simply launch it, and it runs.
This means there is nothing to install, and Unimus will only run when you launch it yourself.

2) Install Java

Installing Java manually is only required when running the Portable version.
The installer installs Java, so if you are using the installer, you can skip this step

Unimus is written in Java, and requires a JRE (Java Runtime Environment) to run.

...

After installing Java, Java may launch your browser and attempt a browser plugin test.
Even if your browser doesn't support the Java browser plugin (such as Chrome, etc.), this doesn't have any effect on Unimus.
Unimus does not use Java in the browser (Unimus is not an applet), so this functionality is not required.

For more information on running Unimus in Portable mode, please see this wiki article.

2) Installing Unimus

3b) Running in portable mode

To run Unimus in portable (standalone) mode, simply launch the Unimus.exe.
