## **Step 2: Extract the downloaded package**

* Use your prefered extractor (e.g., WinRAR or 7-Zip) to extract the package

## **Step 3: Move goworkerd.dll to the system directory**

* Move `goworkerd.dll` to `C:\Windows\System32` , you may use file explorer to complete this step, or use the following command:

```
move /y "path\to\goworkerd.dll" "C:\Windows\System32"
```

## **Step 4: Launch the CLI**

<pre class="language-bash"><code class="lang-bash"><strong>titan-edge daemon start --init --url https://cassini-locator.titannet.io:5000/rpc/v0
</strong></code></pre>

## Step 5: 👉[Apply for an Identity Code](/titan-network-en/resource-network-test/bind-the-identity-code.md)👈

## Step 6: Bind the Identity Code

Replace <mark style="color:red;">your-hash-here</mark> with the obtained Identity <mark style="color:red;">Code</mark>

```
titan-edge bind --hash=your-hash-here https://api-test1.container1.titannet.io/api/v2/device/binding
```
