Downloading & Installing QP-nano™

The most recommended way of obtaining QP-nano™ is by downloading the QP-bundle™, which includes QP-nano™ as well as other QP frameworks and also the QM™ modeling tool and the QTools™ collection. The main advantage of obtaining QP-nano™ bundled together like that is that you get all components, tools and examples ready to go.

Note

QP-bundle™ is the most recommended way of downloading and installing QP-nano™. However, if you are allergic to installers and GUIs or don't have administrator privileges you can also download and install QP-nano™ separately as described in the Application Note: "Getting Started with QP-nano" below.
