Installation

NOTE

During the installation on Windows and Mac systems, security alerts are displayed because the FastTrack executable does not possess an EV code signing certificate. These alerts can be ignored. FastTrack executable can be verified easily (and freely) by comparing the MD5 checksum. See the installation video for more details.
