Installation

Use this page to set up EMode and run a simple example.

1. Get an EMode License

First, create an EMode account.
Verify your account via the confirmation email.
Then, purchase a software license online through the EMode store. This is required, even for a free EMode^2D license.

System requirements: 600 MB free disk space

To install EMode, follow these steps:

Login to your EMode account.
On your account page, select an operating system (Windows, Linux, or macOS) from the dropdown menu.
Click the Download EMode button to download the appropriate file for your selected operating system (an installer for Windows, an executable for Linux & macOS).
- For Windows Users: Run the downloaded installer and follow the prompts to complete the installation.
- For Linux and macOS Users: The downloaded file is an executable, not an installer. You will need to move it to a directory included in your system’s PATH. Here is an example command to run from a terminal window.
```
sudo mv ~/Downloads/EMode /usr/local/bin/
```
  Warning
  
  The Linux and macOS versions of EMode are currently in beta. Please report any problems you find.
  
  Tip
  
  On macOS with an ARM processor (Apple Silicon), the first time you run EMode, you may see a prompt asking you to install Rosetta 2. Please proceed with this installation as it is required to run EMode on Apple Silicon. This is not necessary for Intel-based macOS machines.

Copy and run the Basic: SOI example in your scripting environment.
An account login window will open when EMode is first initialized. To subsequently access this window, run EMode from the command line.
