We provide portable versions of Vocaluxe for every release. There is no installer yet. We plan to have a good installer wizard or automatic update routine in future to make everything easier.
As starter we recommend you to play the latest official release (stable) v0.4.1 from March 3th 2020 (nightly build contains latest features but is not completely tested).
If you play the nightly build you need to install Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable 2015-2022.
Do you have questions about adding or finding songs? Look here FAQ about songs
We recommend having a shared song folder outside the games folder cause every game of open music games organization use the same song files and you might wanna change games sometimes.
