Select the Mode of the Mach Package Installer: Demo or Normal.

Demo: Simulator ONLY to run without an actual machine. 

Normal: Standard installation to run with a machine. 

Note: Currently Normal only supports the M31 Motion Controller.

Set Branch to Release-Beta.

MachPro is still in active beta testing so there is no official Release build yet. 

Install the package manager by clicking on the Install Package Manager button.

If this is the first time you've installed MachPro, be patient as it installs all the backend libraries needed. 

Once all of the prerequisites packages have been installed, the progress panel will show "Installing mach-(version)" and you will be presented with the MachPro install window.
