# Download
Picocrypt is not related to PicoCrypt, so only download Picocrypt from this Github repo to ensure you get the correct and authentic software. You can run the raw Python source file, compile it yourself, or download the portable .exe (for Windows) that I've precompiled and optimized beyond imagination (recommended, because it's just 3MB in size) <a href="https://github.com/HACKERALERT/Picocrypt/releases/download/1.5/Picocrypt.exe" target="_blank">here</a>. If you're compiling from source or running the raw Python file, the following two dependencies will be automatically installed via <code>pip</code> if not already installed: <code>argon2-cffi</code> and <code>pycryptodome</code>.
