# First Steps

Free accounts are not enabled for use via VPN or a VPS service and are restricted to one device. Furthermore, there are additional parameters that we have to consider for users and their subscriptions in order to avoid account sharing. Now that you know that, you are invited to create a free account and test our tool with 50 uploads per month for each platform.

### Create Your Account

To create your free account go to <https://www.lazymerch.com/free-account/> and fill out the registration form.&#x20;

After you have successfully created your account, you will receive an email to activate your account. Don't forget to also check the spam folder of your email in case the mail lands there.

You can now log in and view your account on the [https://www.lazymerch.com/my-account](https://www.lazymerch.com/my-account/) page.

Now select the download section on the left to choose and download the version suitable for your device.

### Installation

#### Windows

Run the downloaded LazyMerch.msi file and let it guide you through the steps of the installer. After that, the login screen of the application will open, where you can log in with your credentials.

#### MacOS

After you run the downloaded LazyMerch.dmg file, you will be asked to move the tool to the Applications folder. You can do this by dragging and dropping the LazyMerch icon to the right in the Applications folder.

If you now try to run the tool directly from the Applications Folder, you may get a security warning from your macOS.

To bypass this security warning, right-click on the app in the Applications folder and select "open".

This will give you a security warning where you can click "Open".

After you have done that, the tool will open and has now been successfully installed on your macOS. Now you can log in.

You may wonder if this security warning is serious. We can allay your fears and assure you that it is only due to a missing certificate that signs programs and confirms that the publisher is who it claims to be. This certification would currently cause problems when we want to provide you with our program updates, which is why we didn't want to use it for the time being.

### What's next?

After you have installed your program, you can now log in and land on the dashboard. See more guides to familiarize yourself with the program.
