Download Mimir

Your browser may warn you

Mimir is new software and not yet widely downloaded, so your browser may show a warning. This is normal.

1. Edge: click the three dots ... next to the download, then Keep, then Show more, then Keep anyway.
2. Chrome: click Keep.

Install

1. Open Mimir-Setup.exe.
2. A blue "Windows protected your PC" box may appear. Click More info, then Run anyway.
3. Mimir installs by itself and opens when it is ready.

First launch

1. Read the licence and click I accept.
2. Create your free Mimir account with your email address. Mimir needs a connection this once; after that your worlds work offline.
3. Tell Alex the email you used so he can add your tester plan.

Test payments

Most testers get a free tester plan from Alex. If he asks you to try a purchase, use this test card:

1. Card number: 4242 4242 4242 4242
2. Expiry: any future date, e.g. 12/34
3. CVC: any three digits, e.g. 123
4. Postcode: anything

Back up your worlds

Your worlds are plain files in the folder you chose when you created them. Copy that folder somewhere safe now and then. That is all you need to do.

Updates

Mimir checks for updates when it starts and then every hour, and downloads them in the background. When one is ready, a notification tells you it will install when you next close Mimir. Choose Restart now to update straight away, or carry on and it installs when you next close Mimir.

Report a bug

1. In Mimir, open Community, then Feedback.
2. Say what you did, what you expected, and what happened.
3. A screenshot helps. Press Windows + Shift + S to take one.
4. If Alex asks for the log file, it is at: %APPDATA%\Mimir\logs\mimir.log
