Download Revit: The Steps to Follow
If you download the software from a site other than Autodesk, follow the steps below. The order may vary.
- Choose a Revit download method. If the method you want isn’t listed, it may not be available for your product, operating system, or browser.
- Install now. This method, the default for installing from the Autodesk desktop app , is only available for Windows . It’s faster because it starts before the components are downloaded and you can select only the products and components you need. Use this option if you’re installing on a single computer or installing a trial version. Administrators cannot use this method to create a network deployment.
Note: Install Now is only available for product versions 2019 and later.
- Download now. Autodesk recommends this method for administrators creating a network deployment and for individual users installing on multiple computers.
- Download from browser. This method allows you to download a full installation package from a browser. It’s slower than Download Now because it doesn’t use Download Manager. Browser Download can sometimes be the only available alternative to individual users and administrators creating client installations.
- If prompted, choose product details, such as language, version, and operating system.
Most Windows operating systems as well as all macOS operating systems are 64-bit, but you can check the Windows system by choosing the System option in the Control Panel.
- If you chose Install Now or Download Now, reply to the prompts:
- If you chose Download Now, download and install Autodesk Download Manager (DLM) when prompted. Then use DLM to download the product .
- Read and accept the license agreement and click Install. If you are prompted for what to do with the installation file, select Run.
- Autodesk recommends that you accept the default download location and make a note of it.
