Installation & Setup

info

To integrate 8th Wall into projects that are not developed with Studio, see documentation on 8th Wall Engine.

Download and Install​

To install the 8th Wall Studio desktop app:

  • Go to 8thwall.org/downloads
  • Select your platform:
    • Apple Silicon
    • Intel
    • Windows
  • Install the application by opening the .dmg or .exe file and dragging the app to your Applications folder.
  • Open the 8th Wall app.

When you launch the app for the first time, it might prompt you to give it access to some of your file system locations or allow its connections through the firewall. Accept those requests to help the 8th Wall app set up projects locally.

When you open the 8th Wall desktop app, you’ll start in the app’s hub view where you can explore and access your projects, and edit local development preferences. You can also access quick links to resources like the project library, docs, and community discord.
