Install Carrara 3D
Step1
Purchase or download the software. If you are downloading the software, allow for few minutes for the compressed file to be transferred to your computer.
Step2
Insert the installation CD into your CD drive or extract the files from the .zip file by clicking on the folder located on your desktop.
Step3
Click on the Carrara 3D icon inside the Carrara 3D folder to begin installation and wait while the program extracts the necessary files to install the program. After it is finished you will see the installation wizard screen, at which time you should click "Next."
Step4
Read the license agreement thoroughly to make sure you understand the terms under which you may use the Carrara 3D software.
Step5
Accept the agreement by clicking on the "Next" button.
Step6
Enter your user name, company name (if applicable) and the serial number of your software, and then click "Next." On CD copies of the software, the serial number can be located on the back of the CD case. The serial number of downloaded copies is located in a text document in the same Carrara 3D folder in which the installation icon was located.
Step7
Allow the software to be installed into the default folder or select or create a new folder by using the "Browse" button. After choosing a folder, click "Next."
Step8
Decide on a type of setup and check the circle next to it. There are three options: the "Typical" (and recommended) setup, which will install the most common features, the "Compact" setup, which will only install the most basic features, and the "Custom" setup, which allows you to choose the features you want to install. Custom installation is only recommended for advanced users of Carrara 3D.
Step9
Click "Next" and wait while the wizard installs the program files.
Step10
Choose "Finish" to complete the installation process.
