After these steps, you should have a working FFGo. You can run it by double-clicking on either <tt>ffgo.exe</tt> or <tt>ffgo-noconsole.exe</tt> in a directory such as <tt>C:\Python</tt><i>XY</i><tt>\Scripts</tt>, where <tt><i>XY</i></tt> corresponds to the Python version that was used in the <code>pip install FFGo ...</code> command. These two executables do the same, except <tt>ffgo.exe</tt> opens a Windows terminal (“console”) containing all FFGo messages, while <tt>ffgo-noconsole.exe</tt> doesn't. You can safely use the latter most of the time. Should FFGo refuse to start for some reason, running <tt>ffgo.exe</tt> and examining/reporting the printed messages would certainly be helpful. You may want to create shortcuts for these files by right-clicking on the <tt>.exe</tt> file of your choice, choosing <i>Create Shortcut</i> and dragging the newly-created shortcut to the final, desired place (e.g., your desktop).
