Start Here

Choose Digital Design Studio, the CLI, or a Cloud connection and follow the setup guide.

Choose a workflow

Use Digital Design Studio for RTL, ISA, Evolve and the dedicated ALcad CAD workspaces. ISA workflows are available in Flow Navigator. The Altifigence CLI is a separate command-line download.

Install the desktop app

Check Downloads and System Requirements for the currently published installer and supported platform. Public downloads do not require website sign-in. A development package or GitHub tag is not a substitute for the published release.

  1. Download the installer and its matching trust files from the official download page.

  2. Verify the checksum and signature before installation.

  3. Follow Install on Linux for the Debian package or Install on Windows for the signed MSIX. Check the package’s current validation status.

  4. Launch the app and follow First launch. Sign in when an account service or protected feature requires it.

  5. Open a small local project, save an edit, close it and reopen it. When the native RTL action is available, follow First RTL simulation.

Use the command line

Download and verify the CLI release listed in Downloads, then follow Linux installation. Use the installed alti to inspect commands and capabilities. CLI first success provides local examples. Passing preflight does not execute a job.

Connect online services

Open Altifigence Cloud for the projects and services available to your account. For MCP clients, follow Connection guidance and check client availability. Each tool requires the appropriate organization permission and consent. Review execution location, input files and usage before starting an online job.

Before you update

Read Release notes for versions and limitations, and back up your local workspace. If verification, installation or sign-in fails, use Troubleshooting before retrying.
