## Just need a simple single-user installation?

<Warning>
  **Not doing an enterprise deployment?** If you're looking to install Draftable Legal for yourself as a single user, you don't need this deployment track. Instead, use the default installer:

  <Steps>
    <Step title="Download the installer">
      Download the Draftable Desktop application here: [https://draftable.com/desktop/download/](https://draftable.com/desktop/download/)
    </Step>

    <Step title="Run the installer">
      Run the installer and follow the prompts.
    </Step>

    <Step title="Activate your license">
      Activate the product by entering your Draftable Legal product key. If you already have a license, your product key should have been sent to your email. If you want to start a trial, [request a demo here](https://www.draftable.com/draftable-legal).
    </Step>

    <Step title="You're ready!">
      That's it! Draftable Legal is now set up and ready to use.
    </Step>
  </Steps>

  For learning how to use Draftable Legal after installation, head to the [Draftable Legal User Academy](/hc/en-us/articles/How-to-use-this-academy).
