+GetIt will do all the work for you including download, installation, configuration and the IDE restart afterwards.
+__**Notice:**__ GetIt-Package-Manager can only be used for Developer-Edition installation. If you bought a commercial license please use our Installer-Tool
+or the manual installation.
+__**Notice:**__ Due to delays in version rollout, the version in GetIt will not always be the latest package. If you're looking for the newest version, we recommend our Installer-Tool.

+==== Configure ====
 After packages were added, we need to configure compiled source-code (DCU) paths.
-This depends on the IDE version you are using.
-__Notice:__ For Win32 platform paths should already exist in most IDE versions.
+Because the IDE has changed over the years, some configurations have been moved.
