Installation

Installing PigeonPost

PigeonPost is available through three channels. All install the same Windows tray app — choose the one that fits your workflow.

---

Option 1 — Microsoft Store (recommended)

The preferred way to install PigeonPost. You get automatic system-managed updates and the app is fully verified by Microsoft.

• Get PigeonPost on the Microsoft Store

---

Option 2 — winget

Install and keep PigeonPost up to date from the command line on any Windows 10/11 machine.

Install:

winget install HolgerImbery.PigeonPost

Upgrade to the latest version:

winget upgrade HolgerImbery.PigeonPost

The app also checks for updates itself at startup and every 24 hours via the built-in Velopack updater.

---

Option 3 — GitHub Releases (direct installer)

Download the latest .exe installer from GitHub Releases and run it — no configuration required.

• Download latest release

Both x64 (Intel/AMD) and arm64 (Qualcomm Snapdragon / Copilot+ PCs) builds are available.

⚠️ Note: Because the installer downloaded from GitHub is not code-signed, your browser may show a security warning when downloading the file, and Windows SmartScreen may prompt you before running it. This is expected — the file is safe, but the warning appears for any unsigned executable. If you prefer to avoid this, use the Microsoft Store or winget options above.
