| |
− | | |
− | :2. Download and install Inkscape from [https://inkscape.org/release/1.3/windows/ the download page] at Inkscape.org. (Most users will want the 64-bit version and the "MSI" installer.)
| |
− | ::* If you need additional assistance for installing Inkscape, you may be able to find good advice at the [http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/InstallHelp the Inkscape wiki] and/or the [https://inkscape.org/forums/ Inkscape Forums]. ''Please do not use Inkscape support resources for AxiDraw-specific issues-- see note below about troubleshooting.''

− | === Alternative (Manual) install for Windows ===
| |
− | | |
− | :If you already have Inkscape 1.0 or newer installed on your computer, you also manually install the AxiDraw extensions. For Windows 8 and older versions, please use the installer above for the first time that you install AxiDraw software, as the installer also includes a necessary USB driver. (You can use the manual method for subsequent installs and upgrades, and for Windows 10, which does not require the USB driver.)
| |
− | | |
− | ::1. Download the software in [https://cdn.evilmadscientist.com/dl/ad/public/395/AxiDraw_395_Win.zip this ZIP archive] (27 MB), and unzip it. (Your computer may unzip the archive automatically for you.)
| |
− | ::2. Locate and open your Inkscape user extensions directory. You can find this location as follows:
| |
− | :::A. Open Inkscape
| |
− | :::B. From the menu, select '''Edit > Preferences'''
| |
− | :::C. Select '''System''' from the list on the left panel of the preferences window.
| |
− | :::D. On the right-hand panel is a list of directory locations. Click the "Open" button to the right of the "User extensions" folder location.
| |
− | ::3. Copy the contents of the ZIP archive (approximately 35 items including 3 subdirectories) into your Inkscape User extensions directory. Make sure that you copy all of these files, not just some of the files, and not just a folder containing these files.
| |
− | ::4. Launch Inkscape, or quit and re-launch it if it is open.
| |

− | === Troubleshooting ===
| |
− | | |
− | : Your software should now be set up to work correctly.
| |
− | :* If you encounter difficulty installing or using the software, please request assistance through [https://shop.evilmadscientist.com/contact our contact form] or through our [https://axidraw.com/chat Discord chat].
| |
− | :* If there is any chance that a problem you encounter is specific to AxiDraw software or hardware, it is important that you do not directly seek assistance through Inkscape's support resources. You're much more likely to get your problem solved by asking people who know about AxiDraw. And, we'd like the Inkscape team to be ready to help us when we do encounter Inkscape-specific issues.
