    In this course, we'll be working with version three of Sketch.

  • 0:03

    So if you happen to be using version two,

  • 0:05

    it's highly recommended that you upgrade so you can follow along with the videos.

  • 0:10

    It's important to note that Sketch is a Mac only application and

  • 0:13

    it requires you to have OS 10.9 which is Mavericks or above.

    So to get the latest copy of Sketch, if you don't have it already,

  • 0:22

    you need to visit this page.

    Here you can buy your copy of Sketch.

    fill out your details on this secure page.

    Now Sketch is downloaded, we need to open and register it.

    But before I do that I'm just gonna move it from my downloads folder over to my

  • 0:51

    applications folder.

    You don't need to do this but it's generally good practice to do so.

    There we go. [SOUND] You can register the app at any

  • 1:08

    time during the trial period.

  • 1:11

    But I'm going to do it just now.

    To do this,

  • 1:14

    we need to click Sketch in the top left of the menu bar then, Registration.

  • 1:22

    We paste in our license key, confirm, and that's it.

  • 1:27

    Sketch is now registered.

  • 1:30

    Now we've downloaded and successfully registered Sketch.
