Install on Windows¶

For most readers, the correct way to install F8Studio is to download the prebuilt Windows package.

Download Windows Prebuilt from GitHub Releases

Recommended Path¶

1. Open the GitHub Releases page
2. Download the latest Windows prebuilt package
3. Extract the archive to a normal user-writable folder
4. Launch the packaged Studio application

If your goal is simply to try F8Studio, stop here and continue to the sample-graph flow.

Open a Predefined Graph¶

The fastest way to learn the product is to load one of the existing scenario JSON files:

1. Scene 01: CVKit Template Tracking
2. Scene 02: GameMod Skeleton
3. Scene 03: Audio Driven TCode
4. Scene 04: Functional TCode Generation

Then follow:

• First Launch and Sample Graphs
• Studio Quickstart

Who Should Build from Source?¶

Build from source only if you are one of these:

• developing new services
• developing f8pystudio plugins
• working on packaging, native services, or docs tooling

For that path, go here:

• Build from Source

Notes¶

• This page intentionally puts the Windows prebuilt path first.
• Linux/macOS and source-build workflows are treated as advanced/developer routes in this documentation pass.
