Download Anvil.
A self-defending vault that warns you the moment it's touched, fast offline roll-backs, sharper memory, and a self-healing project plan. This is the Free tier: the whole memory brain, private and encrypted, on your own machine.
Beta testing release
This is early software and may contain bugs. Your memories should carry forward when you update, and Settings › System › Roll back restores the version you had with your data as it was — but during the beta we can't guarantee it. Keep backups of anything that matters, and please don't store anything you can't afford to lose.

Every file in a release, including SHA256SUMS, is on the release page on GitHub. The full step-by-step install guide (with screenshots) is in the Anvil docs.
Make sure it's the real file.
SHA256SUMS lists a fingerprint for every file in the release. Work out the fingerprint of the file you downloaded and compare it with that file's line. If they don't match, don't run it — download it again.
