# vlc_installer [![Flattr this][flatter_png]][flatter]
Downloads and install the VLC media player available
at http://www.videolan.org/.
vlc_installer looks in the directory where vlc_installer.exe is for
any files it needs before attempting to download them. If it does download a
file, it will attempt to save a copy of the file in this same directory.
vlc_installer adds the installation directory to your PATH environment variable.
On 32-bit systems, this directory is usually `C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC`.
On 64-bit systems, this directory is usually `C:\Program Files(x86)\VideoLAN\VLC`.
## Usage
````
vlc_installer [options]
Options:
/S Install the application silently with the default options selected
/D=path Install into the directory 'path' (default is
%ProgramFiles(x86)%\VideoLAN)
/INSTYPE n Where n is a number between 1 and 2:
1: All - VLC 32-bit - All Windows versions
2: All - VLC 64-bit (Experimental) - All Windows 64-bit versions

## Verify a Release
To verify a release, download the .zip, .sha256, and .asc files for the release
(replacing vlc_installer-2.2.2-win32.zip with the release you are verifying):
````
$ wget https://github.com/rasa/vlc_installer/releases/download/v2.2.2/vlc_installer-2.2.2-win32.zip{,.sha256,.asc}
````
Next, check that sha256sum reports "OK":
````
$ sha256sum -c vlc_installer-2.2.2-win32.zip.sha256
vlc_installer-2.2.2-win32.zip: OK
````
Lastly, check that GPG reports "Good signature":
````
$ gpg --keyserver hkps.pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-key 0x105a5225b6ab4b22
$ gpg --verify vlc_installer-2.2.2-win32.zip.asc vlc_installer-2.2.2-win32.zip
