Depending on the security settings of your PC, some security questions have to be answered. The download usually takes less than 1 minute.

2. Installation: Open the downloaded file PeriData-Setup-.."version number"...exe   The position of this dialog depends on the browser (Chrome, Firefox..) and may be in the upper right or the lower left corner. It is possible that the administrator password of your computer is requested. Installation starts. Answer all question. Select the suggested installation folder. Installation takes 1 minute. Now the program is ready.

3. Start the program: If installed for the first time on a new computer, the program needs administrator privileges. Restart the program. Click with the right mouse button on the program symbol and choose "run as administrator". Later, there will be no such question again. And also after an update installation, the program starts normally.
