***I'm not good speak english***

I am a beginner in Daz Studio. I would like to manually install Genesis to learn more about the program and the structure of its files. I am so please return to simpler instructions / threads on the forum / videos on you tube. I do not want to use as far install Manger, because I want to understand the programs I work with.

Very please with a nice answer.

I recommend using the Install Manager as it really is the easiest way. If you do decide to install manually, here are some instructions that might help you. Have you already installed the DAZ Studio software? If you have not, then follow these steps:

If You’re Not Using the DAZ Install Manager...

Using the Install Manager greatly simplifies the process of downloading and installing DAZ 3D software and content. You can find more information about it here. However, if you do not wish to use the Install Manager, it is possible to install DAZ Studio and its content manually. Your first step will be to download and install the DAZ Studio software.

Downloading and Running the DAZ Studio Installer

1. Click the “My Account” link at the top of the web page.
2. On the menu on the top of the screen, click "Product Library."
3. Find and click on "DAZ Studio 4.6 Pro" in the list of products
- Depending on how many things you have purchased, you may need to search or click through several pages to find "DAZ Studio 4.6 Pro."
4. In the center of the screen, you'll see a list of files. Read the details below in order to learn which file or files you need.
- The list includes four installers for DAZ Studio. You'll have to choose the one that's appropriate for your system: 32-bit Mac, 64-bit Mac, 32-bit Windows, or 64-bit Windows.
- You should also see "Default Lights and Shaders" and "Scene Builder" files listed. Download these as well.
- Below, you'll find links to installers for various plug-ins and add-ons. Click and download the files for the "Subsurface Shader Base," "Genesis Starter Essentials," and "Genesis 2 Starter Essentials." If you're not sure about the others, you can ignore them for now.
5. Click the appropriate link below and follow the instructions.

Manually Installing Content

6. After the software has installed, you'll need to install the other files (content) you have downloaded. See here for information on installing zip files.
7. Start the software and follow the instructions on screen to get started
8. Each time you acquire additional content through the DAZ 3D store, you’ll need to click the “My Account” link, then the “Product Library” link, and download and install the appropriate file.
