Problem trying to install Stockfish 12....

New guy here...

I DL'd Stockfish 12. Attempting to install it... I have WinRaR. I see the file there >  'stockfish_20123118_x64_modern.exe'

When I double-click it, I get what looks to be a dos window, black background, with green letters, and a flashing cursor. Stating:

"stockfish 311220 by the stockfish develops (see authors file)"

with flashing cursor on next line...

 

I have no idea what to do now. Help, please.

Hi TT,

I don't think you made a mistake or have a problem. I'm thinking that what you downloaded was an ST engine without a UI. I'm also thinking that your install was successful. Just download one of the UI`s and check the installed engines. I

On forums, only ones I have checked out so far are the ones here on chess.com. I think they are pretty good. I got some good tips from the Beginner forum, especially a blog by Nicola Somebody from Belgrade?

Hope this helps.
