Overview

This document describes how to install Optitex on your computer. The installation process is the same

for all versions of Optitex; therefore no extra steps are required.

A user friendly wizard is used when installing, allowing you to easily install and go back to previous

screens if needed.

Before You Begin

Before you can install Optitex, you must first make sure your computer has the minimum requirements

needed in order to run and operate Optitex properly. For more information, see Optitex System

Requirements.
