    <b>Notice</b>: This user guide is based on the legacy {connector_0} connector.<br />
    We recommend using our new connectors instead, as they are easier to use and actively maintained. This legacy documentation may not be up to date.

If you'd like to try installing on a different platform or for a different version, you can do a manual installation. Note that the connector has not been tested on older versions or on different platforms. There may be issues, so feel free to report them on the forum.

## 1. Clone the Repository

First, ensure you have [git](https://git-scm.com) installed.

Run the following command in your terminal to clone the repo:

```bash theme={null}
git clone https://github.com/specklesystems/speckle-sketchup
```

This will create a `speckle-sketchup` folder with the connector files wherever you run this command.

## 2. Build the User Interface

Navigate into the `ui/` folder

```bash theme={null}
cd speckle-sketchup/ui
```

Then run the following commands:

```bash theme={null}
npm install
npm run build
```

This will create a `html` folder inside the `speckle-sketchup/speckle_connector` folder.

## 3. Add the Connector to SketchUp

Find the `Plugins` folder for your SketchUp installation. On Windows for SketchUp, the folder will be at:

```
C:\Users\{YOU}\AppData\Roaming\SketchUp\`{SketchUp_VERSION}\SketchUp\Plugins
```

Once you've found the equivalent for your OS / SketchUp version, copy the `speckle_connector` folder and the `speckle_connector.rb` file into the `Plugins` folder.
