Installer

Download the newest installer from the release section and run it.

If you have an older standalone version installed, the installer will automatically uninstall the old version and install the new version.

Standalone

Download the newest standalone archive from the release section and unpack the archive.

To install for the first time simply start AdvancedSettings.exe once while SteamVR is running. It will register with SteamVR and automatically starts whenever SteamVR starts (Can be disabled in the settings).

To upgrade an existing installation first stop SteamVR and delete the old application folder (or override it). Then start SteamVR and run AdvancedSettings.exe once.
