Info
- All users: During the installation, some configurations run in the background and these may seem relatively slow (especially on virtual machines). When the installation finishes, you will be asked to reboot: please do not force the reboot yourself, as you may end up with an incomplete installation.
- MacOS Ventura users: If an XQuartz update message appears after the CalderaRIP installation, please do not upgrade since the latest versions of this application present compatibility issues. If done already, then follow the instructions in this article to downgrade.

Adobe PDF Print Engine: Only in macOS X, version 6 of this tool was downgraded to 5.5 due to a development incompatibility that caused unexpected behavior in CalderaRIP's color management (more info). Thus, the forced workaround to use Adobe CMM (which prevented the use of some specific Caldera features like InkPerformer, etc. since V16.0.1) has been removed as well. Adobe and Caldera are working hard to provide the capability to use CalderaCMM with APPE 6 on MacOS as soon as possible. |

- Download the .zip file: caldera_webserver.zip.
- Extract the .zip file.
- Go to the folder caldera_webserver.
- For Linux Ubuntu: right-click on Ubuntu-installer.sh and use Run as a program.
- For Linux Debian: double-click on Install.desktop.
- Enter credentials and the installation will start.
- You are now able to use the CostView module.
For macOS users
