Note: we recommend you read the basics and tutorials before you start developing with Cogent Core on your system. Complete all of the following steps to install Cogent Core:

1. 1. Download and install Go from the Go website if you do not already have Go 1.22+ installed.
2. 2. Run go install cogentcore.org/core/cmd/core@main to install the Cogent Core command line tool. You should run this command again each time you update to a new version of Cogent Core.
3. 3. Run core setup to install platform-specific dependencies. Please first read all of the information below:
• • This installs the xcode-tools on macOS, various graphics libraries on Linux, and w64devkit and Git on Windows.
• • You should run the command from your home directory.
• • You may need to enter your password so that it can run sudo commands.
• • You should restart your shell/prompt/terminal after running the command.
• • On Windows, you must run the command from a shell/prompt/terminal running as administrator (but still in your home directory). You may need to follow steps in installers; the default options are fine. After running this command, you must run all future commands related to Cogent Core in Git Bash; please do not use Command Prompt or PowerShell.
