    How to Install DevExpress Products

    • 3 minutes to read

    The way you install DevExpress products depends on several factors, such as:

    • Product type - .NET or JavaScript/TypeScript
    • Operating system - Windows or Unix-based
    • Installation purpose - Developer or CI/CD machine

    DevExpress .NET Products: Unified Installer and NuGet.org

    DevExpress .NET products and libraries (both trial and licensed versions) are installed as NuGet packages. You can use the following installation methods:

    Installer-Generated Offline Feed (Windows)
    Download and run the DevExpress Unified Installer. The installer sets up a local NuGet feed with DevExpress packages and registers your DevExpress License Key.
    NuGet.org Online Feed (Any OS)
    Obtain DevExpress NuGet packages from NuGet.org. You bypass an installation wizard, but you need to manually register your DevExpress License Key (whether using trial or licensed version).

    The following table compares the two installation types:

    Tip

    Looking for information on NuGet.DevExpress.com? This is an outdated installation channel that currently remains operational to support older versions.

    If you use v24.2 or earlier, see Install DevExpress v24.2 via a NuGet Feed.

    For additional details on installation/configuration, refer to the following help topics:

    DevExtreme JavaScript/TypeScript Products: Native Distribution Channels

    JavaScript products use native ⁠redistribution channels (such as npm and Yarn) instead of NuGet. Refer to the following guides in DevExtreme documentation:

    Note

    DevExtreme-based ASP.NET Core controls can be installed using the DevExpress Unified Installer or NuGet.org feed.

    Footnotes
