Downloading and installing individual CYPE apps
The steps required to download and install CYPE programs individually are described below.
1. Register with BIMserver.center
First, you need to register on the BIMserver.center platform. To do this, follow the steps below:
- Go to BIMserver.center in your web browser and click on the "Register here" button in the top right-hand corner.
- Once you are on the registration page, enter your "First name", "Surname", "Email address" and "Password". Then click on "Create account".
- You will then need to confirm the validation email that will be sent to your email address. If you do not receive it, please check whether it has been marked as spam.
2. Sign in to BIMserver.center
Once registration is complete, you must sign in to BIMserver.center using your account, as follows:
- Go back to BIMserver.center using your web browser and click on "Sign in" in the top right-hand corner. In the sign-in window, enter your account's "Email" and "Password" and click on "Sign in".
3. Download the app from BIMserver.center
On BIMserver.center, you can search for the app you want, for example, CYPE Architecture, and download it:
- The "Store" option takes you to the app catalogue. In the top left-hand corner, you can search for apps by name, category or tag.
- When you select the desired app, its details page opens, where you will find the "Download" button in the top right-hand corner. Clicking this button will download an executable file to the specified location.
4. Install the app
The file above can be used to download and install the complete app. To do this, you must follow these steps:
- Run the downloaded file from your downloads folder and select your preferred installation language from the available options.
- The path where the full app will be downloaded will be displayed. Tick "Install automatically after downloading" if desired, and click "Start download". If the directory does not exist, the program will ask for confirmation to create it. In that case, select "Yes".
- If you ticked "Install automatically after downloading" in the previous step, the installation wizard will launch automatically. If not, you will need to locate and open the installation executable file in the relevant language within the designated folder, for example, C:\CYPE Ingenieros\Download version 2027.a\CYPE Architecture\Spanish installation\Install CYPE Architecture.exe. In the installation wizard, you must accept the Licence Agreement and the Liability Clause.
- Select the drive on which you wish to install the program. This will determine the installation path. For example, the installation path for CYPE Architecture 2027 is as follows: C:\CYPE Ingenieros\Version 2027\CYPE Architecture. You can tick the boxes to create shortcuts on the desktop and in the "Programs" menu, if you wish. Finally, click ‘Finish’.
- The program installation process will then start automatically; this may take a few seconds, depending on your computer. Once complete, the app will open automatically. You can then launch it using the shortcuts created during installation. This will open the app’s main interface, from which you can log in to BIMserver.center, enter your licence credentials and start working.
