Section 4 of 5 in this chapter

- 1
Download the installer
From the download page. It installs per user, into your own profile.
- 2
Run it
The app opens to a sign-in screen asking for a project key. Getting one is the next section.
How updates work
The app checks for a new version on launch and shows a banner when one exists. Nothing is downloaded or installed until you agree — a version control client that restarts itself mid-push would be a strange thing to trust — and an update never interrupts a sync, a commit, or a build in progress.
