* If you have administrator rights for your computer, click **Download** and run the Workstation Client installer in the form of an NSIS installer package. If you get a prompt from Windows Access Control, click **Yes** to allow Workstation Client to be installed; for a silent installation, you can also run the installer as an administrator with the `/S` argument, that is, `MendixWorkstationX.Y.Z.exe /S`. The default installation folder is *C:\Program Files\Mendix Workstation*. The app data folder can be found at *C:\ProgramData\Mendix Workstation*. The client runs automatically after the installation is completed.

As a best practice, put the portable client in a new folder in your Documents folders, and then click the .exe file to run the client.
