Installing Nipper

Nipper is installed and run from a local machine. That is, Nipper cannot be installed on a server and accessed remotely.

The software has been tested on server operating systems, but if installed as such you would still be required to operate the software locally, working at the same machine on which Nipper is installed.

The following section gives detailed instructions on how to install Nipper on Windows operating systems.

Please note that Nipper v3.0 is currently only supported for Windows operating systems.
Note: Nipper downloads come supplied with both SHA1 and MD5 hashes on the website, allowing you to check the integrity of the download.
Note: Nipper v2.x.x and Nipper v3.0 can be installed and run alongside each other on a machine.

The packages are code signed wherever possible and are both built in a clean, secure environment undergoing rigorous testing before upload to our servers.
