1. Make a place to keep hledger binaries, and add it to your PATH; this makes running hledger easier. You only need to do this once, not for every release:
```
mkdir -force $HOME\bin >$null
$ENV:PATH += ";"+$HOME+"\bin"
[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("Path", [Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable("Path", [EnvironmentVariableTarget]::User)+";"+$HOME+"\bin", [EnvironmentVariableTarget]::User)

[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("Path", [Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable("Path", [EnvironmentVariableTarget]::User)+";"+$HOME+"\bin", [EnvironmentVariableTarget]::User)
```
2. Download and install the release binaries:
```
cd $HOME\bin
cp hledger.exe hledger.old.exe # keep a backup of the old executables, if you like
cp hledger-ui.exe hledger-ui.old.exe
cp hledger-web.exe hledger-web.old.exe
curl https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/releases/download/$REL/hledger-windows-x64.zip -OutFile hledger-windows-x64.zip
Expand-Archive hledger-windows-x64.zip -DestinationPath . -Force

cd $HOME
hledger --version; hledger-ui --version; hledger-web --version # should show $REL
```
3. Ensure a default journal file exists, and without a problematic encoding.
(Not sure why "ascii" is needed here - hledger likes utf8 and understands utf8 BOM headers..
but the state of [our unicode support on Windows](https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/issues?q=is%3Aissue+label%3A%22platform%3A+windows%22+label%3Ai18n)
is really unknown, your input welcome.)
```
out-file -append -encoding ascii $HOME/.hledger.journal
```

Once that journal file exists, you can start hledger-web by double-clicking on the icon if you wish.
