Downloading the wallet:
Downloading the wallet is a fairly straight forward process:
Open the Link below:
https://github.com/xero-official/Xero-Wallet/releases
You will see a page that looks like this:
Next you're going to click on the windows .zip file to download the wallet.
Now we're going to create a new folder on our desktop for the wallet to live in, I've named mine XERO Wallet.
Once the download is complete you're going to need to extract it to the folder you've created on your desktop (NOTE: The folder can be anywhere on the computer it does not have to necessarily be the desktop, I used the desktop for ease of access. ) and extract the wallet. I recommend using WinZIP but any unzipping software will do.
Next Simply select all the files within the zip archive and then click extract all. You will see this next:
In the image above select Desktop (Or wherever you created your folder) and then select the folder itself - in this case XERO Wallet.
Next Click OK, once it is extracted you can close the program you used to extract the files.
Next step is to open the folder you created where you will see this:
Next we're going to launch the Desktop Wallet by clicking on the very last file in the folder called XEROWallet.
You will then be met with this message:
For the above message simply click "Allow Access" and the wallet will start!
