# Installation

> Install Cartographer through the shared Studio, Assistant, and Robot installer, and set up your UiPath account to get started.

Cartographer installs through the same package that installs UiPath Assistant and the UiPath Robot, and it appears as a component you select during that install.

:::note
You can currently install Cartographer on Windows only.
:::

## Prerequisites

- A UiPath account in your organization's tenant.
- A machine that meets the [hardware and software requirements](https://docs.uipath.com/assistant/standalone/latest/user-guide/hardware-and-software-requirements).
- Internet connection

## Downloading the installer

The installer can be downloaded directly, from UiPath Customer Portal, the Resource Center in UiPath Automation Cloud, or provided by your Customer Success Manager.
