# Installation

Below you can find details on how to install UBuild.

## Requirements

- Windows 10.0.17763.0+
- .NET 8.0 Runtime (Download Runtime from [here](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/8.0))

## Installation

Ensure the above requirements are met before installing. *(Installing .NET may require a restart of your PC)*

1. Download the latest UBuild build from [https://ubuild.publiczeus.com/download](https://ubuild.publiczeus.com/download)
2. Extract the UBuild folder within the zip to wherever you would like the application to "live". *(this is based on user preference)*

## First-time setup

Given that you have downloaded the UBuild tool to its own folder, follow the steps below to complete the "first-time setup" process.

1. *Run UBuild.exe*
    - As UBuild isn't yet a known application Windows may warn you that it has come from an "Unknown Publisher", so long as you have downloaded UBuild from a trusted source (ie: [https://ubuild.publiczeus.com/download)](https://ubuild.publiczeus.com/download)) you simply click "More info" > "Run anyways".
    - *As this is your first time running UBuild, the application will automatically create the necessary folder & files.*
2. You will now be presented with the license agreement, before continuing you must agree that you will not use UBuild for commercial purposes. *(you'll only have to do this once) (read [here](https://docs.publiczeus.com/books/personal-commercial-licensing/page/requesting-a-commercial-license "Requesting a Commercial License") for more about Commercial Licenses)*
3. Once you have agreed to the license, you're now able to start using UBuild!

From here it's recommended you Create your first Project. (see more [here](https://docs.publiczeus.com/books/getting-started-with-ubuild/page/creating-your-first-project "Creating your first Project"))
