1. Download the `.exe` installer from the release page or the `windows-installer` artifact.
46
+
2. Double-click the installer and follow the prompts. The installer places Mux in `%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\mux` and adds a Start Menu entry.

3. If SmartScreen warns about the binary (common for unsigned preview builds), click **More info** → **Run anyway**.

4. Launch Mux from the Start Menu or run `mux.exe --server` from PowerShell to start the browser-accessible server mode directly.

### Running Mux in server mode
57
+
58
+
Mux includes a lightweight server mode so you can keep the agent running without the desktop shell and reach it from any browser (desktop, tablet, or phone). After installing, run `mux --server` (or `mux.exe --server` on Windows) to start an HTTP/WebSocket control plane.

60
+
- The server hosts the full Mux UI over the web and prints a URL such as `http://localhost:3000`. Open that URL from the same machine, or expose it via a tunnel/VPN to reach it from mobile devices.
61
+
- Use `--host 0.0.0.0` to bind to all interfaces and `--port <number>` to pick a different port.
62
+
- Pass `--add-project /path/to/repo` to register and auto-open a workspace when the browser connects.
63
+
64
+
This mode is ideal for mobile development: keep the heavy Electron app on a workstation, run `mux --server`, and interact with the session from your phone or tablet browser.
