Before we can do anything, the first step is obviously to download and install the software.
To download TouchDesigner, please go to download page. There you can select the appropriate installer for your operating system. ({ NOTE: } Please download the latest stable release.)
After downloading, please follow the operating specific instructions (provided with the download) for installing TouchDesigner on your system.
For this semester, we will be utilizing the FREE “NON-COMMERCIAL” license.
After downloading TouchDesigner, you will need to register for an account with Derivative (The Parent Company), there you will be able to request and receive a non-commercial license. This license will be good for 1-year, at which point you will need to re-apply for another year’s worth of the non-commercial license.
{ note }: Follow the install and registration instructions from the Derivative website:
You are finished with the install if you can open TouchDesigner without a license request popping up.
If you still need help downloading and/or installing TouchDesigner, please watch the following. However, if you accomplished this last week, then you can skip ahead.
