    Hi rkoxx,

    Thanks for your question! There currently isn’t a video of the install, but that’s a great suggestion for some additional content we could provide in future.

    You said you’ve already downloaded q/kdb+ and got your license, so you just need to make sure you’ve got the QHOME environment variable set. More information on that can be found here: Installing kdb+ | kdb+ and q documentation

    Once you’ve done that, the easiest way to get started with Developer is to follow the steps here: Getting started – KX Developer for your OS. The steps will be along the lines of: download, unzip, run install script, run launcher and then copy the url into your browser.

    Hopefully you find it straightforward enough, but do reach out if you have any issues.

    If you’ve downloaded Developer on to your own computer, that is where any data or code will be saved. You have an option to specify where exactly on your system you want to save it during the install.

    Hope this helps!

    Thanks,

    Laura
