5 Local Installation

Follow these instructions for downloading and installing the latest version of the EVM GUI application:

  1. The EVM GUI application installer can be downloaded from the TI GUI Composer Gallery by clicking on the download icon indicated by a red arrow in the Figure 4-1 above.

  2. From the gallery, click the download icon in the latest version and select the installer for your operating system (Windows, Linux or Mac).

  3. Unzip the downloaded .zip file.

  4. From the unzipped folder, run the GUI installer (.exe file with the current version.) If you have not installed the GUI Composer Runtime, the installer will take care of this for you. The installer contents may look slightly different for each OS, but should be self-explanatory.

  5. You are now ready to run the GUI application on your local machine after completing the hardware setup in the next section.
