Introduction

Welcome to the official installation guide for the latest version of our development tools. This document will walk you through the process of setting up your environment to start building powerful applications. We aim to make this process as smooth and straightforward as possible.

Prerequisites

Before you begin the installation, please ensure your system meets the following requirements:

  • Operating System: Windows 10 (64-bit) or later, macOS 10.15 or later, or a supported Linux distribution (Ubuntu 20.04+, Fedora 34+).
  • Hardware:
    • Minimum 8 GB RAM (16 GB recommended)
    • 10 GB free disk space
    • 1 GHz or faster processor
  • Network: An active internet connection is required to download the installer and any necessary dependencies.
  • Permissions: Administrator privileges are required to install the software on your system.

Note: Ensure you have closed any other applications that might interfere with the installation process, such as antivirus software (temporarily disable if necessary, and re-enable after installation).

Installation Steps

Follow these steps carefully to install the development tools.

Step 1: Download Installer

Download the latest version of the installer from our official download page: Download Now. Make sure to select the correct installer for your operating system.

Step 2: Run Installer

Once the download is complete, locate the installer file (e.g., setup.exe on Windows, .dmg on macOS, or .deb/.rpm on Linux) and double-click it to start the installation wizard.

On Windows, you might see a User Account Control (UAC) prompt. Click "Yes" to continue.

Step 3: Configuration

The installer will guide you through a series of configuration options. Pay attention to the following:

  • Installation Directory: Choose where you want to install the software. The default location is usually recommended unless you have specific reasons to change it.
  • Components: Select the components you wish to install. You can typically choose between a full installation or a custom installation to select specific features.
  • License Agreement: Read and accept the End-User License Agreement (EULA).
  • Path Variables: The installer may offer to add the installation directory to your system's PATH environment variable. This is highly recommended for easy access to command-line tools.

Important: It is crucial to select the correct components based on your development needs. Consult the Features Overview if you are unsure.

Click "Install" to begin the file copying and setup process. This may take several minutes depending on your system's performance.

Post-Installation Steps

After the installation is complete, you may need to perform a few additional steps:

  • Restart your computer: In some cases, a system restart is required for all changes to take effect.
  • Verify installation: Open a terminal or command prompt and run a command like yourtool --version to confirm the installation was successful.
  • Initial Setup: Run the initial setup wizard (if applicable) by launching the main application or using a specific command. This might involve setting up user profiles or connecting to services.
  • Update: Check for any available updates immediately after installation.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

If you encounter problems during or after installation, refer to the following:

  • "Access Denied" errors: Ensure you are running the installer with administrator privileges.
  • Installation fails halfway: Check your disk space and internet connection. Try downloading the installer again.
  • Command not found: Verify that the installation directory was added to your system's PATH environment variable. You might need to restart your terminal or computer for changes to take effect.
  • Corrupted files: Uninstall the software completely and perform a fresh installation.
