Before installing 2.0.0

Completely remove any previous version of Magic Packet Server first — uninstall the app and stop or remove the Windows service, macOS launch agent, or Linux systemd unit. Do not install 2.0.0 over an older version. Leaving the old service running can cause conflicts and break remote control.
