### Download a Perforce Client

In order to get Perforce up and running on your system, you first need to download the Perforce client program for your Operating System. Perforce Software provides clients for just about every OS freely on their web site at:

All you need to do is download the appropriate p4 binary for your Operating System from their web site. You may also want to download or browse the documentation for p4, although it is quite simple to use from the command line and has extensive command line help.

Note: If you have not upgraded recently you should upgrade your copy of Perforce to 2002.1 or later, which has some new features that our Perforce server supports. However our depot should work with most Perforce clients right back to the 97.x series.

In order to use Perforce you will need a TCP/IP connection to the internet, either via modem or direct connection. Accessing Perforce via modem is actually quite fast, and we regularly have developers doing remote development over slow modem links from around the world.
