In this tutorial we will cover how to download, install, and activate RapidWeaver Classic on your Mac. Let’s get started.
Step 1
After purchasing RapidWeaver Classic (which we covered in a previous tutorial), you will have received a download link which you will use to download the app. When clicking the download link, RapidWeaver Classic will be downloaded to your Downloads folder on your Mac (or a custom folder if you have set a custom folder for your downloads). In this tutorial we will assume you have left your Downloads folder as the default.
Step 2
Double-click on the RapidWeaver.zip file in order to extract the app.
Step 3
Move (drag and drop) the RapidWeaver app to your Applications folder.
Step 4
RapidWeaver Classic should now be located in your Applications folder. Go ahead and open it.
Note: If you have prior versions of RapidWeaver installed on your Mac, you will see those in your Application folder as well. No worries, RapidWeaver Classic can happily coexist with your previous versions of RapidWeaver! In the below example you will see we also have our previous version RapidWeaver 8 installed on our Mac.
Step 5
When RapidWeaver Classic first opens, you will be greeted with a Registration window. Click on the “Activate License…” button in order to activate the app.
Step 6
Enter the email address you used when purchasing the app, along with the license key you received after your purchase. Then, click the “Activate” button.
Nice job!
Your copy of RapidWeaver Classic should now be activated and ready to use to its full potential.
Note: You can view how many devices your RapidWeaver Classic license is activated on by clicking the “Activations” button in the bottom left of the registration window.
In our next tutorial, we’ll go over some important first steps to familiarize yourself with RapidWeaver Classic.
