Type "ExpressVPN" in the search bar, then click the magnifying glass icon.

When you find ExpressVPN, click "Install", then "Open".

In the app, click "Login" and enter the email address and password you used to sign up for the ExpressVPN website. Click "Sign In" again.

Give the app the necessary permissions by clicking OK.

When you set up the app, you'll see a large power button on the main dashboard. Expand the drop-down menu under the power button and locate the desired server.

Click the power button to connect to the selected server. As soon as the power button turns green, your VPN is set up.
