Download Synthesis
Currently the place to go is the release page
On the latest release, download just the Synthesis.zip file. The other files are not needed.
Unzip the archive somewhere you like. Make sure you bring along ALL the files within the zip, not just Synthesis.exe
It will create a few files nearby itself, so it is good to put it within its own folder.
Run Synthesis
You're ready to run Synthesis!
