Installing Cumulus Desktop Clients
Cumulus provides an installer application which guides you through the installation process. With Windows and macOS, this application is a double-click installation.
NOTE: Most likely, you will get the Cumulus installers packed in .zip files which are named according to a standard scheme:
<product name>_<version number>_<operating system>.zip, e.g. Client_1101_Win.zip or Client_1102_MacOSX.zip. You have to unpack the .zip file in order to start the installation process.
The following section explains how to install Cumulus Desktop Clients for Windows and macOS.
