1. Download and extract or run the installer to your desired location.
2. Launch Vapourkit.
3. On first launch, click Start Setup when prompted to install dependencies.

The setup flow installs, in order:

• The bundled Video Compare tool
• vs-mlrt ONNX Runtime (DirectML backend)
• vs-mlrt TensorRT (NVIDIA backend — only on supported GPUs)
• Python Embedded
• Bundled ONNX upscaling models
• FFmpeg
• Plugins & filters (PyTorch, vsjetpack, bundled VapourSynth plugins, helper scripts, filter templates)

Setup runs once. Subsequent launches go straight to the main app. The plugins-and-filters stage can also be re-run later from the Plugins menu in the header.
