Introduction
This guide will cover how to install the SoftChalk Create Desktop version onto your Windows or Macintosh computer. Once you install SoftChalk Create, start the application and go to
Help/Help Topics/SoftChalk Create Guide. Within the
Create Guide is a
Getting Started section.
The URL for this
SoftChalk Create Installation Guide is below. As we update this guide, the URL will remain the same.
https://softchalk.atlassian.net/wiki/download/attachments/199721157/installationguide.pdf?api=v2 IMPORTANT: If you have already installed SoftChalk Create 10, but haven't entered the license information yet, you can just enter your license information without having to run the installation again.

If you have trouble installing SoftChalk Create after reading this guide, please look at our FAQs on our website. At the left, click on the section called Installation. For instance, there are the question below concerning Java:

y to launch the new version of Create - Create 10, the program doesn't launch. What should I do?
If you have trouble with your installation and cannot find your answer in our
FAQs on our website, please contact
help@softchalk.com and we will be glad to assist you.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to
save the installer to your local computer before running it. Sometime users have a slow internet connection and try to run the installer from the internet rather than saving it to their local computer first.
Also, if you are on a fast internet connection and downloading the installer is taking 20 minutes or more, you may want to stop the download process and start another download. (Typically downloading the installer takes 5 minutes or less.)
SoftChalk Create runs using the Java Runtime Environment [JRE]. Most computers have the JRE software automatically installed. (As part of the installation process, the SoftChalk Create installer will automatically check your version of the JRE software.)
SoftChalk Create runs on your desktop computer and does not require internet access for creating your lessons. For information on delivering the lessons to your students, see the
SoftChalk Create Guide, which you can find under
Help/Help Topics within SoftChalk Create.
