⚠️ Important — Read before installing

HudHud IDE is currently signed with a self-signed certificate. This means Windows will show you two warnings during installation. These warnings are not malware indicators — they appear because we have not yet obtained a certificate from an official (paid) certificate authority. Please follow the steps below.

📥 Installation Steps

  1. 1 Click the Download HudHud IDE button above. Your browser may show a warning — click Keep.
  2. 2 Double-click the downloaded HudHudIDE-Setup.exe file.
  3. 3 Follow the SmartScreen and UAC prompts as described below.

Warning 1 — Windows SmartScreen

🛡

Windows protected your PC

Microsoft Defender SmartScreen prevented an unrecognized app from starting.

App: HudHudIDE-Setup.exe

Publisher: HudHud Mind

More info

  • Click the More info link at the bottom-left.
  • Verify it says Publisher: HudHud Mind.
  • Click the Run anyway button that appears.

Warning 2 — UAC (Administrator Permission)

Do you want to allow this app to make changes to your device?

HudHudIDE-Setup.exe

Verified publisher: Unknown

Do not be alarmed by Verified publisher: Unknown — the self-signed certificate is not yet recognized. Click Yes to start the installation.

After this step, the installer wizard runs normally.

🔒 Why These Warnings?

  • Code-signing certificate: Guarantees the software comes from the claimed company and has not been modified.
  • SmartScreen reputation: Microsoft checks whether this app has been downloaded safely many times.

We sign with our own (self-signed) certificate.

As our user base grows, we will transition to an official certificate. Thank you for your patience. 🙏

✅ How to Verify It is Safe

  1. SHA256 hash verification: Check in PowerShell: 
    Get-FileHash .\HudHudIDE-Setup.exe -Algorithm SHA256
  2. Signature verification: 
    Get-AuthenticodeSignature .\HudHudIDE-Setup.exe | Format-List Status, SignerCertificate
    You should see Subject: CN=HudHud Mind in the output.
  3. Open source code: github.com/HudHudMind/hudhud-ide
  4. VirusTotal scan: virustotal.com

🛠️ Advanced — Remove Warnings Completely

Install the HudHud Mind certificate into Trusted Root (optional)

You can add our certificate to your trusted root certificates to remove the Unknown publisher warning.

⚠️ Only do this if you obtained the certificate from our official website or GitHub release.

  1. Download the certificate: hudhud-codesign.cer
  2. Double-click the downloaded .cer file.
  3. Click Install Certificate.
  4. Select Local Machine (requires admin).
  5. Place all certificates in Trusted Root Certification Authorities.
  6. Next → Finish. Confirm the security warning.

After this, the Publisher will appear as HudHud Mind in green.
