### Getting Core4Manager and SDKs

Latest versions of Core4Manager and SDK packages are available on the download page.

### Installing Core4Manager on Windows

Just run the installer executable.
After installation, when starting the Core4Manager for the first time, the Windows firewall will ask for permission to let this program access the network. Please confirm this. Core4Manager needs network access in order to communicate with Core4 controllers under development.

### Installing a Core4 SDK

In order to develop Core4 projects, you need an SDK package. The SDK contains the necessary binary and support files to link your own code with the Core4 kernel and Lua interpreter.

To install an SDK, select File->Install SDK from within Core4Manager and navigate to the ZIP file that contains the SDK file. Do not unpack the ZIP file yourself, Core4Manager does this automatically for you.

Remember, whenever you install a new SDK version, projects will not automatically switch to it. To make use of a newly installed SDK, you need to pick the SDK explicitly in the projects properties window (Project->Properties)
