On Windows, it is necessary to install Bonjour Print Services in order to access the `.local` URLs of your installed services. In a future release of StartOS, this will no longer be necessary.
#. Download `iTunes64 <https://www.apple.com/itunes/download/win64>`_ from Apple's official website and extract the files using WinRAR. If you do not have WinRAR installed, you can download `here <https://www.win-rar.com/download.html?&L=0>`_.
#. Run the **Bonjour64** package to install it.
#. Download the `Bonjour installer </_static/bin/Bonjour64.msi>`_.
.. warning:: Bonjour can be unreliable. If your `local` URLs suddenly stop working, you may need to uninstall and re-install Bonjour. Go to `System Settings > Remove Programs`, uninstall Bonjour `and` Bonjour Print Services, re-install Bonjour Print Services from the link above, then restart Windows.
.. note:: The Bonjour installer linked above, which Apple bundles into iTunes, is hosted by Start9 for your convenience. If you wish to obtain it directly from Apple to be more confident of its provenance, download `iTunes64 <https://www.apple.com/itunes/download/win64>`_ from Apple's official website and extract the files using a tool such as WinRAR. If you do not have WinRAR installed, you can download `here <https://www.win-rar.com/download.html>`_.
#. Run the **Bonjour64** package to install it.
