Installation Guide
Step-by-step instructions for installing Sutido on Windows.
System Requirements
Before installing Sutido, make sure your system meets these requirements:
- Operating System: Windows 10 or later (64-bit)
- RAM: 4 GB minimum, 8 GB recommended
- Disk Space: 600 MB for installation
- Databases: MongoDB 3.6+, PostgreSQL, Microsoft SQL Server, Aerospike, ClickHouse, or Elasticsearch — local, self-hosted, or cloud-hosted
Download
Download the latest version of Sutido from our download page:
- Windows Installer (.exe) - Recommended for most users
- Windows Portable (.exe) - No installation required, runs straight from the file you download (offered when available for the current release)
Installing on Windows
Using the Installer
- Download the
.exeinstaller - Double-click the downloaded file to start installation
- Follow the installation wizard prompts
- Launch Sutido from the Start menu or desktop shortcut
Using the Portable Version
- Download the portable
.exe - Double-click it — there is nothing to extract and nothing to install
The portable build unpacks itself to a temporary folder each time it starts and runs from
there, so it leaves no Start menu entry, no registry keys and no uninstaller. Two things worth
knowing: it starts slower than an installed copy, because it unpacks on every launch; and it
is portable, not traceless — your connections, history and licence still live
in %APPDATA%\sutido on whatever machine you run it on.
The portable build does not update itself. When a new version is out, download it again from the download page.
First Launch
When you first launch Sutido, the Welcome tab walks you through the basics. From here, you can:
- Add a connection for any of the six engines — MongoDB, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Aerospike, ClickHouse, or Elasticsearch
- Paste a connection URI to fill in the form automatically
- Access settings to customize themes, fonts, and shortcuts
Updating Sutido
Sutido checks for updates when it starts (you can turn this off in Settings) and via Help → Check for Updates. Updates are differential — only the parts that changed are downloaded, so they are small and fast. After an update, the Changelog tab opens automatically so you can see what's new. Your connections, history, snippets and workspaces are restored exactly as you left them.
Uninstalling
To uninstall Sutido:
- Open Windows Settings → Apps → Installed apps
- Find "Sutido" in the list
- Click the menu (three dots) and select "Uninstall"
Troubleshooting
Installation fails or hangs
