82 | | -> Please note that this is my leisure time project. Even though I will continue development and bug fixes, Windows is not my targeted operating system. Even for the first release, I installed the trial version of Windows in Virtual Box and created the setup file. Therefore there may be delays in releasing the bug fixes and new features to Windows users. |
| 8 | +To see how to install, visit the [installation guide](https://slgobinath.github.io/uget-chrome-wrapper/#installation) and click on your operating system. |
