Setup guide for Windows (64-bit)

This guide will prepare your Windows machine for local development with the SpatialOS worker SDK which is available in C++, C#, Java, and as an even lower-level C API.

To use Unity to make SpatialOS games, see the GDK for Unity documentation.
To use Unreal to make SpatialOS games, see the GDK for Unreal documentation.

You need to have access to SpatialOS to download the worker SDK.

1. System requirements

We support up-to-date versions of Windows 7 and 10.

Before following the setup guide check that your machine meets the hardware requirements.

If you’re using a corporate network with a strict firewall, raise a support request (for customers with a service agreement) or ask on our forums and we’ll take you through some custom setup steps.

2. Install SpatialOS

Download the SpatialOS installer and follow the steps.

This installs:

the spatial CLI
the SpatialOS Launcher
the 32-bit Visual C++ Redistributable
the 64-bit Visual C++ Redistributable

If you don’t want to set up SpatialOS using the installer, see the alternative setup steps for Windows.
