00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,913
Here are my recommended step-by-step instructions for installing Adobe Bridge for free. 

2
00:00:07,913 --> 00:00:15,683
Before you install Adobe Bridge, I'd recommend that you first check the system requirements on Adobe's website.

3
00:00:15,683 --> 00:00:19,923
 I've provided a link to do that in the Hello Manual.

4
00:00:19,924 --> 00:00:26,207
As of this recording, Adobe Bridge is only available for Windows and Mac operating systems.

5
00:00:26,207 --> 00:00:32,406
Chrome-style computers do not support Adobe's desktop apps.

6
00:00:32,407 --> 00:00:38,420
The next step is to log in to Adobe's website with your Adobe ID.

7
00:00:38,421 --> 00:00:43,548
Go to Adobe.com and click Sign In. 

8
00:00:43,548 --> 00:00:51,465
If your account avatar appears instead, then that means you're already logged in, and you can skip this step.

9
00:00:51,465 --> 00:00:58,923
You will be asked for your email address and password of your registered Adobe ID.

10
00:00:58,924 --> 00:01:05,887
This is the ID that you use to register any Adobe software, like Photoshop or Photoshop Elements.

11
00:01:05,888 --> 00:01:11,565
If you don't have an Adobe ID, you can create one.

12
00:01:11,565 --> 00:01:17,859
This is what you'll see if you created a new user ID. But either way in this screen,

13
00:01:17,860 --> 00:01:23,074
you'll want to click on the apps icon. It may be in a different location. 

14
00:01:23,075 --> 00:01:30,049
Once you see all of the available Adobe apps, you'll want to scroll down until you

15
00:01:30,050 --> 00:01:34,585
find the Bridge app. Then, like Install. 

16
00:01:34,585 --> 00:01:40,290
The next screen you'll likely see is the one informing you that Bridge is now installing. 

17
00:01:40,290 --> 00:01:45,532
Notice that it says Bridge is being installed by the Creative Cloud desktop app.  

18
00:01:45,533 --> 00:01:52,352
If you already have this app on your computer, Bridge will simply be added to it. 

19
00:01:52,352 --> 00:01:56,647
If you do not have this app, this app will be installed as well. 

20
00:01:56,648 --> 00:02:05,405
The creative cloud desktop app is what Adobe uses to install apps and update apps. 

21
00:02:05,405 --> 00:02:12,896
To open Bridge, in the Creative Cloud app, click on the Apps icon. 

22
00:02:12,897 --> 00:02:17,644
Then, navigate to the Bridge app and click Open.

23
00:02:17,644 --> 00:02:26,732
In the next lesson, I'll help you capture a good first impression of Bridge and give you a small tour.
