- An Nvidia GPU is recommended, but other GPU's will likely work fine.

- Only Intel CPU's have been tested and are known to work



### Windows



 - Only Windows 10 is supported



### Linux



 - Ubuntu 22.04 is recommended

 - Other distributions and releases will work but have not been tested



Getting Started

---------------



1. Download a release from (http://casparcg.com/downloads).

   Alternatively, newer testing versions can be downloaded from (http://builds.casparcg.com) or [built from source](BUILDING.md)



2. Install any optional non-GPL modules

    - Flash template support (Windows only):



    1. Uninstall any previous version of the Adobe Flash Player using this file:

        (http://download.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/support/uninstall_flash_player.exe)



    2. Download and unpack

        (http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/installers/archive/fp_11.8.800.94_archive.zip)



    3. Install Adobe Flash Player 11.8.800.94 from the unpacked archive:

        fp_11.8.800.94_archive\11_8_r800_94\flashplayer11_8r800_94_winax.exe



3. Configure the server by editing the self-documented "casparcg.config" file in

   a text editor.



4.

   1. Windows: start `casparcg_auto_restart.bat`, or `casparcg.exe` and `scanner.exe` separately.

   1. Linux: start the `run.sh` program or use tools/linux/start_docker.sh to run within docker (documentation is at the top of the file).
