 ==== Notes ====
-<color #ed1c24>Since v0.8.3.2265 you will need additional binaries inside the BDS installation directory!</color>
+By manual installation we need to take care of a few DLL files.
+The IDE should be able to find those files at DesignTime, because while working in Delphi, the current directory is the IDE binary folder, not your project folder:
-  * Copy "<package-extract-path>\lib\fmod\windows\fmodL.dll" to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Embarcadero\Studio\22.0\bin\"
+<code>
-  * In some cases OpenSSL libs are necessary too: "libeay32.dll" and "ssleay32.dll"
+f.e. "C:\Program Files (x86)\Embarcadero\Studio\22.0\bin\"
+</code>
-After package install and path configuration we recommend to:
+  - Copy FMOD (audio library) DLL to BDS directory
-  * Close the IDE
+    * "**<installation-directory>\lib\fmod\windows\fmodL.dll**" to "**C:\Program Files (x86)\Embarcadero\Studio\22.0\bin\**"
-  * Kill "adb.exe" process in task manager
+  - Copy OpenSSL DLL files to BDS directory or ensure the system is able to find them automatically by environment variables
-  * Restart the IDE
+    * OpenSSL is needed by the embedded AssetsStore to download prefabs from web
-  * Open an existing Gorilla3D project
+    * "**libeay32.dll**" and "**ssleay32.dll**" to "**C:\Program Files (x86)\Embarcadero\Studio\22.0\bin\**"
+    * You can download OpenSSL at: [[https://www.openssl.org/source/|https://www.openssl.org/source/]]
-**__WARNING:__ Sometimes the IDE do not load the Gorilla3D package on startup, especially when creating a new / empty project.
-Then the IDE do not register all Gorilla3D classes and do not use the correct OpenGL context for design-time rendering!**
-In case you do not have an existing Gorilla3D demo/application:
-  * Start the IDE with installed package and configured paths
-  * Create a new and empty FMX application
-  * Drag & drop a TGorillaViewport, TGorillaCamera and TGorillaLight onto your form
-  * Save the project
-  * Close the IDE
-  * Kill "adb.exe" process in task manager
-  * Restart the IDE
-  * Load your previously created application
-**__REMARK:__ Was solved since v0.8.3.1846.**
