Installation and Start Up
The first step to using Zend Studio is to download the latest version from the product page. Choose the appropriate release and operating system package for your particular development machine. Even if you do not have a product license, you can download it and try it out during a 30-day evaluation period.

There are a number of steps needed to install Zend Studio. During this process, you can choose to have the Zend Internet Explorer and Firefox toolbars added to your Web browser(s). You can have the full PHP manual installed, which would be especially handy if and when you are working without access to the Internet, such as during air travel. You can change the target installation directory from the default one, and specify which file extensions to be associated with Zend Studio. You also have the option of installing Zend Core (which consists of libraries, extensions, remote debugging capabilities, etc.) and Zend Platform (a PHP application server).
