-Even though this is the first of the VanillaJuce "technical topics", this one isn't entirely technical. It's a tour through the slightly-scary process you have to go through to get started doing anything technical with JUCE. +Downloading the JUCE library is straightforward, but knowing where to put it, and other items such as SDKs, is not. Basically, you have to run the Projucer program and hunt around before you can find out what the default folder locations are. On this page, I spare you that by showing you in advance, so you can make informed choices.

-As you should understand, and as will become abundantly clear very soon, the good people at Roli Ltd. are in business after all, so the JUCE library is quite definitely //not free//. They do, however, offer two free options ("Personal" and "Education") which allow people to get started with JUCE without having to pay for a commercial license, and these options involve certain conditions to which you'll have to agree, whether you like it or not. JUCE is their commercial product, and they make the rules---though if you investigate the details, you'll probably agree that their rules and conditions are quite reasonable.+

 You can unzip this ''JUCE'' folder wherever you wish, but it would be nice to know in advance what the default location is. That doesn't seem to be written down anywhere, but I'm going to give you a sneak preview here, so you don't have to install the software in some random location in order to find out it wasn't the right one. So, just leave the JUCE ''.zip'' file alone for the moment and follow along. You can unzip this ''JUCE'' folder wherever you wish, but it would be nice to know in advance what the default location is.

 +The default settings all show in red above, because I hadn't yet put anything in the default locations on my PC when I took this screenshot.
