---

Prerequisites

• Windows PC or Server
• Administrator access
• A web browser (to download the installer and access the Runtime interface)

---

Part 1: Telemetry Setup

Step 1 — Download the Installer

Open a browser and download the installer from:

https://cud.dccore.io/dcc_downloader.exe

Step 2 — Open an Admin Terminal in the Download Folder

1. Navigate to the folder where dcc_downloader.exe was saved
2. Right-click inside the folder while holding Shift, then select "Open PowerShell window here"(or open PowerShell as Administrator and cd to the folder)

Step 3 — Install the Telemetry Agent

Run the following command in the Admin terminal:

./dcc_downloader.exe --background-task --auto-update dcc-telemetry.exe

Step 4 — Retrieve Your Device ID

Open File Explorer and navigate to:

C:\ProgramData\DCCore\device_id

Or run the following in your terminal:

type C:\ProgramData\DCCore\device_id

⚠️ Note: The Device ID is the alphanumeric string inside the file. Copy only that string — do not include any surrounding whitespace or characters.

Keep this ID safe — it is required to register your device in the DC CORE dashboard.

Part 2: Runtime Setup

Step 1 — Download the Installer

Skip this step if dcc_downloader.exe was already downloaded during Part 1 and you are in the same folder.

https://cud.dccore.io/dcc_downloader.exe

Step 2 — Open an Admin Terminal in the Download Folder

1. Navigate to the folder where dcc_downloader.exe was saved
2. Right-click inside the folder while holding Shift, then select "Open PowerShell window here"

Step 3 — Install the Runtime

./dcc_downloader.exe --background-task --auto-update dcc_runtime.exe

Step 4 — Access the Runtime Interface

Once the Runtime is running, open a browser on any device on the same network and go to:

http://<device-ip>:8444

Replace <device-ip> with the local IP address of your Windows machine.

💡 Tip: To find your device IP, run ipconfig in a terminal and look for the IPv4 Address of your active network adapter.

From the page you can either:

• Scan the QR code using a mobile device, or
• Click the link to open the Central Link Interface
