Installation and Update Guide > Local installation

Before starting to create a local installation of cadett ELSA, it is a good idea to check that a suitable version of AutoCAD is installed and running on your computer. If not, please install AutoCAD first, before proceeding with the installation of cadett ELSA. To finalise the installation of AutoCAD you must start it. Preferably, that should be done logged in as the user that is going to use cadett ELSA.

If you are making an update to a new version of cadett ELSA and already have a running AutoCAD that you plan to continue using with the new version of cadett ELSA, please check that the new version of cadett ELSA still supports your old AutoCAD. If not, you need to install a supported version of AutoCAD as described above for new installations.

If you will use a Solo version of cadett ELSA, like cadett ELSA LT, no separate AutoCAD is needed. Instead, the Solo eXs embedded CAD Engine will be installed as part of the cadett ELSA installation procedure.
