# Setup

Source: [https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-77512-1/topic/hexagon-dsp-sdk-setup.html](https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-77512-1/topic/hexagon-dsp-sdk-setup.html)

The installer takes care of downloading and installing all the Hexagon SDK's
        dependencies

To begin using the Hexagon SDK, open a new Windows command prompt
                (`cmd.exe`) and run `setup_sdk_env.cmd`. This script
            configures the local environment. These changes are not persistent across instances of
                `cmd.exe`, so you must run `setup_sdk_env.cmd` in each
                `cmd.exe` window in which you wish to develop.

    cd < Hexagon SDK root directory, default is C:\Qualcomm\Hexagon_SDK\<version> >

If using a Linux host machine, run `source setup_sdk_env.source` for
            setting up the environment.
