|Processor|Intel Core i5 or AMD Ryzen 5|Intel Core i7 or AMD Ryzen 7 or better|
|RAM|8 GB|16 GB or more|
|Disk space|2 GB free|10 GB or more free|

Lux Lab also requires the following:

-   Node.js v24 or later, for local build tooling
-   pnpm v10 or later, the recommended package manager
-   Git v2.30 or later
-   An active internet connection, for instance connectivity and agent features

## About this task

Download the Lux Lab app using the following link. [Lux Lab installation files](https://install.service-now.com/glide/distribution/builds/package/app-signed/aiux/Lux-Lab-official-release.zip).

## Procedure

1.  macOS

    1.  Download the Lux Lab `.dmg` installer using the following link.

        [Lux Lab installation files](https://install.service-now.com/glide/distribution/builds/package/app-signed/aiux/Lux-Lab-official-release.zip).

    2.  Open the `.dmg` file.

    3.  Drag Lux Lab into your `/Applications` folder.

    4.  If macOS displays a security prompt on first launch, select **Open Anyway** in **System Settings** > **Privacy & Security**.

        Lux Lab opens and prompts you to sign in.

2.  Windows

    1.  Download the Lux Lab `.exe` installer using the following link.

        [Lux Lab installation files](https://install.service-now.com/glide/distribution/builds/package/app-signed/aiux/Lux-Lab-official-release.zip).

    2.  Run the installer.

    3.  Follow the on-screen prompts.

    4.  When the installer completes, launch Lux Lab from the Start menu or the desktop shortcut.


## Result

Lux Lab is installed. On first launch, a guided setup screen takes you through three steps before you reach the app: Environment, Agents, and Instance Sign-in.

## What to do next

To complete setup, connect Lux Lab to your instance; this step is required, because you can't reach the app without it. For the procedure, see [Connect Lux Lab to an instance](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/application-development/connecting-lux-lab-to-an-instance.md).
