Hi @Tamir! Which operating system are you on?

If you’re on Linux, does it work if you run these commands?

```auto
tar xvzf writefreely_0.12.0_linux_amd64.tar.gz
cd writefreely
./writefreely

```

Hi @matt , I did as you said but this error came out.

```

ERROR: 2021/08/05 08:58:30 app.go:146: Unable to load configuration: open config.ini: no such file or directory

```

Could you help me with this? I’d really appreciate it. Do I have to reinstall it? To anyone reading, please feel free to help as well. I’d be happy to try your solution. Thank you!
