Here are the guides to download and install LVGL   Pro Editor appropriate for your
platform:

Windows [#windows]

Install WSL [#install-wsl]

Before using the Editor `WSL` (Windows Subsystem for Linux) needs to be installed.

Open a Terminal and type `wsl.exe --list --verbose` to see if it's already installed.

If it's not, just type `wsl --install` and hit Enter.

Install the Editor [#install-the-editor]

Navigate to [https://pro.lvgl.io/#download](https://pro.lvgl.io/#download) and press the \[Download] button and save
the resulting image to your workstation. Then execute the downloaded installer to
install LVGL   Pro Editor.

Linux [#linux]

Install Podman [#install-podman]

The Editor is capable of recompiling the preview to use and run your C code as well.
We handle the compilation in a container using [Podman](https://podman.io/)
(similar to Docker).

The simple way of installing Podman is via Terminal:

* **Debian, Ubuntu, Linux Mint**: `sudo apt-get install podman`
* **Fedora**: `sudo dnf -y install podman`
* **Arch, Manjaro Linux**: `sudo pacman -S podman`

Install the Editor [#install-the-editor-1]

Installing LVGL   Pro Editor on Linux is as simple as downloading the AppImage, making
it executable (`chmod +x LVGL_Pro_Editor.AppImage`), and running it.
