1. Make a place to keep hledger binaries, and add it to your PATH; this makes running hledger easier. You only need to do this once, not for every release:
```
mkdir -force $HOME\bin >$null
$ENV:PATH += ";"+$HOME+"\bin"
[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("Path", [Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable("Path", [EnvironmentVariableTarget]::User)+";"+$HOME+"\bin", [EnvironmentVariableTarget]::User)

3. Ensure a default journal file exists, and without a problematic encoding.
(Not sure why "ascii" is needed here - hledger likes utf8 and understands utf8 BOM headers..
but the state of [our unicode support on Windows](https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/issues?q=is%3Aissue+label%3A%22platform%3A+windows%22+label%3Ai18n)
is really unknown, your input welcome.)
```
out-file -append -encoding ascii $HOME/.hledger.journal
```
Problems:
- Starting hledger/hledger-web by double-clicking their icon won't work; run them from a cmd or powershell window instead.
Once that journal file exists, you can start hledger-web by double-clicking on the icon if you wish.
