How to install PuTTY

Open putty.software or the latest release page and download the MSI installer that matches your system. Most users should pick the 64-bit x86 installer.

Run the installer and complete the setup. The MSI installs PuTTY and the main companion tools, including PSCP, PSFTP, Plink, Pageant, and PuTTYgen.

If you want the source instead, download the source archive from the release page or clone the official Git repository.
