THE YAP MACHINE
Help without the tech talk

What are you stuck on?

Find your exact message below, or book a free install call and a person will help you through it.

Windows protected your PC

Click More info, then Run anyway. This is common for a new installer.

Windows asks to allow changes

Click Yes so the installer can add the free tools it needs.

Your account is not an administrator

Sign in to the main account on the computer. On a work or school computer, ask whoever manages it or use a home computer.

The installer cannot reach the internet

Check your Wi-Fi and turn off your VPN for the install, then run the installer again.

Windows app installer is missing

Open the Microsoft Store, search for App Installer, click Update, then run the Yap Machine installer again.

Smart App Control blocked it

Do not turn Smart App Control off. Use the install call so a person can help with your exact screen.

Your antivirus pops up

Allow the file in your antivirus. Do not turn protection off permanently. If you are unsure, book a install call.

It has sat on one step for ages

The speech model is about 1.6 GB. Give it 30 minutes on a slow connection. If nothing changes, close the window and run the installer again. It keeps what it already finished.

You closed the black window

Run the installer again. It picks up where it stopped.

It stops with a red message

Run it once more. If it stops again, send install-log.txt from your Yap Machine folder to support. It has no videos or private information in it.

No Code tab in Claude

Check that you have a paid plan. Close and reopen Claude, then update it. If it still is not there, book a install call.

Claude says it needs Git

Run The Yap Machine installer first, then close and reopen Claude.

You cannot find the folder

Open File Explorer and search for Yap Machine. The installer also shows the folder address at the end.

Mac is asking for a password and nothing shows when you type

That is normal on a Mac. Type your Mac password and press Return. The Mac installer is not released yet, so use the install call for current help.

Check your free space

Open File Explorer, click This PC, and look under your C: drive for the free space.

Take a screen photo

On Windows, press Windows key + Shift + S. On Mac, press Command + Shift + 4. A phone photo works too.

Find the install log

Look for install-log.txt in your Yap Machine folder. It has no videos or private information in it.

Never share your passwords

We never ask for your Claude password or your payment details. Do not send them in an email or a screenshot.
