2. Verify files and extract (if needed)
- Check the downloaded file’s name and size match the source.
- If it’s a ZIP, right-click → Extract All (Windows) or double-click to unzip (macOS).
3. Run the installer or place files
- Windows: Double-click the .exe or .msi and follow prompts. If provided as .scr, right-click and choose Install.
- macOS: If a .dmg, open it, then drag the screensaver file (.saver) into /Library/Screen Savers or ~/Library/Screen Savers.
4. Allow permissions (if requested)

- If playback stutters, try lower-resolution videos or enable hardware acceleration (if available).
- Reinstall or update graphics drivers if it fails to run.
8. Uninstall or remove
- Windows: Control Panel → Programs → Uninstall the screensaver, or delete the .scr from C:\Windows\System32.
