1. Check that your system meets the System requirements.
2. Unzip and place the CasparCG Server folder anywhere you like.
3. Install Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package"' from http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=5555
4. Optional: Install "Flash Player 10.3.183.11" from the "Flash Player Installation" folder. *
5. Make sure to disable the default Aero theme in Windows, as it interferes with CasparCG Server's OpenGL features.
6. Configure the server settings in the "casparcg.config" text file.
7. Start the "CasparCG.exe" program.
8. Connect to the server from a client software, such as the separate download, CasparCG Client 2.x.

* This is only required if you need to use Flash Templates. Windows 10 includes a flash player out of the box and does not require you to do a new install. Please note that Flashplayer is EOL after 2020 and might be disabled on an OS level.
