Install Paths

Pick one path. Do not mix them unless you have a reason.

Beginner Path

Use this if:

  • you are new to ORCA
  • you want the safest order
  • you want more explanation

Go to install-for-beginners.md.

Standard Path

Use this if:

  • you want the canonical setup flow
  • you want step-by-step instructions without extra beginner framing

Go to install.md.

Technical Path

Use this if:

  • you already use git and shell tools comfortably
  • you want the shortest correct path

Go to install-for-technical-users.md.

Decision Boxes

If you only want to try ORCA in one project:

  • use local install

If you want ORCA available across projects:

  • use global install

If you only need to read the framework or contribute to it:

  • stay in repo mode
