Choose the relevant installer for your computer:

Download 32-Bit Paca-ManV9.1.4.exe or Download 64-Bit Paca-ManV9.1.4_x64.exe

The file will be saved to your downloads folder. Open the downloaded file to start the installation. Press CTRL+J to view your downloaded files if you aren’t sure where the file is.

Follow the instructions to install Alpaca Manager.

If the installation stops with the message “You must have 32-Bit Microsoft Access 2016 (or later) installed on your computer before you can install Alpaca Manager.” or “You must have 64-Bit Microsoft Access 2016 (or later) installed on your computer before you can install Alpaca Manager.”, and you already have Microsoft Access 2016 or later installed, you need to use the other installer (32/64 Bit). If you don’t have Microsoft Access 2016 or later installed, follow the instructions here and try again.

The next time you start Alpaca Manager, the new version will be used. If there have been any structural database changes included with the update, your existing data file will be updated automatically.
