Installation ​

Purpose ​

Install, upgrade, or uninstall MyShell Terminal on Windows.

Entry ​

Download the .msi or .exe installer from the product release page.

Install and Upgrade ​

  1. Double-click the installer and follow the wizard to choose the installation location.
  2. Launch the app from the Start menu after installation.
  3. To upgrade, install the new version over the existing installation. Exit the running app first if required by your organization.

Data and Version Limits ​

  • The main data directory is %APPDATA%\MyShell Terminal\; SSH host trust records are stored separately at %LOCALAPPDATA%\MyShell Terminal\security\known_hosts.json.
  • Refer to the delivery notes for Windows version compatibility.
  • Confirm that the new version meets your organization's software distribution and permission requirements before upgrading.

Uninstall ​

Uninstall from Windows Settings → Apps. Before removing local data, carefully identify what must be retained and export it from Settings → Backup first. Consider both locations above when cleaning data; deleting trust records affects subsequent host identity verification.

Failure Handling and Safety ​

If installation fails, check disk space, installation permissions, and security-software prompts, then download the installer again from a trusted release channel. Before uninstalling or clearing data, confirm that no server settings, keys, or backups still need to be retained.
