# Installation
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
| | |
|
|
|---|---|
|
|
| **Electrum** | {{ bal.electrum_latest }} (last stable release tested) |
|
|
| **Platform** | Desktop — Linux, Windows, macOS |
|
|
| **License** | MIT |
|
|
| **Wallet type** | Standard seed-based single-signature, or a [hardware wallet](../user-guide/hardware-wallets.md). See [Compatibility](../user-guide/compatibility.md). |
|
|
|
|
Install Electrum first, from the official site [electrum.org](https://electrum.org), and verify its signature as you normally would.
|
|
|
|
## 1. Download the plugin
|
|
|
|
Get the latest release from the [plugin releases page](https://bitcoin-after.life/gitea/bitcoinafterlife/bal-electrum-plugin/releases).
|
|
|
|
!!! tip "Verify the archive"
|
|
Check that the zip's SHA-256 matches the value printed by `build_zip.py`. If you built the zip yourself from source, compare it against the published release.
|
|
|
|
## 2. Install it in Electrum

|
## 4. Check that it loaded
|
|
|
|
After restarting you will see two new tabs in the Electrum window: **HEIRS** and **WILL**.
|
|
|
|

|
|
*HEIRS is where you define who inherits; WILL shows the technical state of your inheritance transactions.*
