# Using app for first time

{% hint style="warning" %}

## A word of advice

If you have installed it with **Install for all users** install mode. Then start the app using **Run as Administrator**. Fail to do so and it will report fatal error due to improper permissions for the application to run in admin mode.
{% endhint %}
