Install Localtonet on Windows

In this guide, you’ll learn how to install Localtonet on Windows, authenticate it using your AuthToken, and optionally run it as a background service.

1) Prerequisites

  1. If you haven’t registered yet, create an account.
  2. Copy your AuthToken from the My Tokens page in your Dashboard.
AuthToken: This unique key authenticates your device with your Localtonet account.

2) Download Localtonet for Windows

Download the correct version for your system architecture:

Extract the downloaded ZIP file to a folder of your choice, for example: C:\Localtonet.

3) Authenticate Using Your Token

Open a Command Prompt or PowerShell in the folder where localtonet.exe is located, then run:

Authenticate
localtonet.exe --authtoken <YOUR_TOKEN>

This stores the token locally. Once authenticated, Localtonet is ready to use.

4) (Optional) Run Localtonet as a Windows Service

5) Troubleshooting

  • “Access Denied” errors: Run Command Prompt or PowerShell as Administrator.
