# Setup

> Download and install Ideatura Studio, then sign in to your account.

Ideatura Studio is the desktop app where you chat with AI and work with your drawings, models and documents.

> [!NOTE]
>
> **V2 Beta** covers Get Started. Other sections open in V1; use the version selector to return here.

## Download Studio

Open [ideatura.ai/download](https://ideatura.ai/download) and choose the installer for your operating system. For Revit or AutoCAD, install Studio on the Windows computer where you use that application.

You need an Ideatura account to sign in. If you received an invitation, open it and accept it first. See [Get access](https://docs.ideatura.ai/start/get-access.md) if you still need an account or help accepting an invitation.

## Install and sign in

**Windows**

1. Close Revit, AutoCAD, Rhino and Blender before installing, so their add-ins can be installed or updated.
2. Run the downloaded installer.
3. Choose **All users** when asked who to install for, and confirm with **OK**. Allow the Windows administrator prompt to continue.
4. Finish the installation and launch **Ideatura Studio**.
5. Sign in with the same account you use in the [web portal](https://app.ideatura.ai/).

**macOS**

Open the downloaded installer and follow its installation prompts. Launch **Ideatura Studio** and sign in with the same account you use in the [web portal](https://app.ideatura.ai/).

## Open your application

Start your design application after installation and open the project you want to work on. In Studio, open **Connected Apps** beside the message box. Your open document should appear in the list.
