Installation Expectations

FareCo Archive is intended to begin from a simple local installation path. Keep the USB available during setup, follow the included installer prompts, and wait for installation to complete before opening the archive.

Activation Overview

Activation connects your copy of FareCo Archive to the setup option you received. It is part of the first-use process and should be completed before adding family materials.

First Launch

After activation, begin with a small set of photos or documents. Confirm that the archive opens locally, that materials are visible, and that the organization path feels clear before adding larger collections.

Local-First Clarification

FareCo Archive is designed around local use. Your family materials are organized on your device, and optional AI features should be treated as enhancements to a locally owned archive rather than the center of the experience.
