# Software installation and configuration

We recommend using the Allied Vision GCT tool to acquire the first images. For information about the installation and use of GCT, refer to the [GCT documentation](https://docs.chromasens.de/v1/docs/system-requirements).

1. Connect your camera to the PC.
2. Turn on the camera.

The installation and configuration of your PC are described in the [GCT documentation](https://docs.chromasens.de/v1/docs/system-requirements).
