The official installer sets everything up and guides you step by step: the IRC server, the services, the website and the database. Pick your system.
A window guides you from start to finish. It installs the network on this computer — in WSL, the Linux built into Windows — or on your server, then starts and monitors it.
The same graphical app: it installs the network on this machine or on your server, then runs it.
The network runs on Linux. On Windows, Overtchat Setup installs it in WSL, the Linux that Windows provides, or on a server you rent. Every detail of the installation
This website’s chat runs in the browser and asks for nothing. OverScript is the desktop app: it remembers your servers, keeps your history, and updates itself.

Windows says “Unknown publisher”? That is normal and harmless: our apps are not signed with a paid certificate. SmartScreen warns you on first launch — click More info, then Run anyway.
Each file has a SHA-256 hash, computed on the file actually served. If your download’s hash is identical, it has not been tampered with.

What the installer checks by itself: Overtchat Setup refuses an installer whose hash is not the one recorded when it was built, and the installer compares the website archive with the published hash — it stops if they differ, and gives up by default if the manifest cannot be reached. The full manifest is public.
