Method 1: Downloading and installing directly from Inkscape

1. Using a Web browser, go to the Inkscape website’s download page for
   Windows and select the best download for your system. If you are unsure if you need the 32-bit or 64-bit version, read the section about Identifying Your System Architecture first.

   
   

2. Select an installation method from the available choices (exe, msi, archive) and wait for it to
   download. You should either see a window giving you the option to save
   the file, or a pop-up appear in your web browser with
   the file’s name and a timer stating how long until the download is
   complete.

   
   

3. Once the download is complete, either click on the file in the lower
   left corner (Chrome) or the top right corner (Edge and Firefox) of your screen
   to start the installation process. On Firefox, it’s hidden behind a blue circle. If need be, go to your file explorer,
   open your downloads folder and select the file from there. It should be the
   first file at the top of the folder.

   if it is set to anything other than English. Click Next on both
   the following welcome screen and license agreement screen.

6. You will be prompted, if you want to add Inkscape to the system PATH.
   This is only worth considering if you want to use Inkscape from the
   command line or PowerShell, which we won’t cover in this guide.
   Otherwise, just click Next.

   
   

7. On the Choose Install Location window leave the destination
   folder as C:\Program Files\Inkscape and click
   Install unless you want Inkscape to be installed in a
   specific location on your computer.

   

   (Optional step)

   If you do want to install Inkscape in a specific location on your
   computer, click the Browse button and in the resulting window
   either make a new folder for Inkscape and select it or select the
   destination folder you want Inkscape to be installed to.

   
   

8. On the Choose Components screen you can select which features
   you want to install or not install. In most cases the default options should provide all that the user needs, so click Next.

   
   

9. Once you click Install, a progress bar will appear showing
   how long it will take for your program to install.

10. After the installation is complete, click Finish and
