# Installation

### Registration

{% hint style="info" %}
If you do not already have one, register an Autodesk account before starting this step. It's the same as getting an account anywhere else.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
Fusion 360 supports only Windows and OS X. Unfortunately, it does not currently support Linux & BSD distributions.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="danger" %}
To install Fusion 360 on FCPSon laptops, visit Mr. Behling in the Prototyping lab during 8th period. We highly reccommend using a personal laptop instead of FCPSon if you can.
{% endhint %}
