Installing ArtiCAD for the first time

Go to the Software Downloads section in the Members Area and select the appropriate product download, ArtiCAD-Pro (ArtiCAD-Pro includes kitchens, bathrooms and bedrooms.)

Click the download and the following dialog boxes will appear on your screen.



Click 'Yes'.

Click 'Next'.



Read and accept the licence terms and conditions by ticking the box. Then click 'Next'.



Choose the location for your ArtiCAD installation (if you are unsure, leave it as the default). Then click Install.

(If the install button is greyed out, there is a problem with the destination folder. The most probable cause is lack of disk space or the current user has insufficient permissions to write to the destination folder.) 

If this is the first time you have installed ArtiCAD software, you will see the dialog box below. Click on ’Yes’.



The download will commence. Please note this may take several minutes depending on the speed of your computer.



To complete your installation, you will need to reboot your computer. You can choose to Reboot now or manually reboot later.



Once you have rebooted, your ArtiCAD installation is complete and you will see an ArtiCAD icon on your desktop:
