How to get Models up and running

PreviousWelcome to AlphaNextSupport and Help

Last updated 11 months ago

Downloading Models

You'll receive a link to download Models in the email that you received when you signed up for the Alpha Trial.

If you do not have the download link, contact us at

Follow your browser's instructions to open the download link.

Installation

Models is currently a Windows-only application

Once you have clicked on the download link, you will be presented with an installation screen, as shown in the screenshot below.

Simply click Install to run the process. You will then see a screen as below - on completion, Models will be installed to your computer.

Setup

When you install Models for the first time, a data storage folder will be created in [CurrentUser]/AppData/Roaming/Taglo.

Updates/Pinning to taskbar

Models will automatically check for and install updates each time it runs.

As Models is currently Alpha software, we cannot support out of date versions of the application, so ensuring that your software is up to date is critical.

If you want to pin Models to the Windows taskbar, you should only do so from the Windows start menu, as shown in the image below. If you pin Models to the taskbar from a running instance of the app, you won't receive automatic updates and you will see a warning each time you run the software.

We recommend that you continue to use this folder for storage, though you can change storage folder at any time - see for more information.
