This article is designed for new users and users who may want to refresh their understanding of basic content configuration in DAZ Studio. This article does not cover all the details of customization, such as the Content Manager feature (VIEW CATEGORIES). Customization and Content Manager are *not* recommended for new users until they have become familiar with the correct, basic way of installing and using content in DAZ Studio 3.

Installers make it easy to choose the same, correct target folder again and again without having to worry about whether the files are written to the correct sub-directories. Bit Rock installers will default to the same path over and over until you change it. So, choose the correct path the first time you install content and you shouldn't have to search or worry about it for future installers. NOTE: Installers must be run as applications. Placing the installer file itself into the content or runtime folder does not install the content. This article shows how to install into the recommended default paths. It's possible to choose a custom path, but this is not recommended for new users, until you understand how it works correctly. You'll notice that all the recommended install paths for content end in 'content.' TIP:Many content products consist of several installers. As a rule of thumb, run all of the installers provided, regardless of whether they are designated for DS (_ds_) or for Poser (_dpc_). There are some exceptions, but more often than not, you'll need both the files from the DS installers and the DPC installers. Installers for Carrara (_ca_) are obviously not needed in DAZ Studio.
