# Incari Hub

**Incari Hub** serves as a central access point to all **Incari** products. It allows one to install the latest version of **Incari**, manage existing **Projects**, and obtain **Demo Projects**.

On the left-side Menu, there are several sections. We will go through each, one by one. Feel free to jump to the section you are most interested in:

## Projects

### My Projects

The *My Projects* section allows the user to access, create, and manage their local **Projects**. Here there are two existing **Projects** called **'test'** and **'test2'**. The leftmost square with the plus icon is used to [create a new **Project**.](https://docs.incari.com/incari-studio/2023.2/getting-started/first-steps/creating-a-project)

![My Projects.](https://2561100106-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2Ff6JZovzOqBctA4C1o76u%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-54fbab9e8322148fe3def136d403a70168194bfd%2Fincarihub1.png?alt=media)

Each **Project** displays the username and **Incari Studio** version at the bottom. Clicking on the three dots that appear when hovering over a **Project** allows the user to open the **Project**, play the **Project** in **Incari Player**, show the **Project** in the user's local file library, and edit the **Project's** settings. It is also possible to delete the **Project** from here, either by removing it from the **Hub** or deleting it completely from the local disk.

### Remote Projects

The tab *Remote Projects* gives access to **Demo Projects** that have been created by our very own **Incari** team. These can be downloaded with the small cloud icon at the bottom right. The **Project** will then appear under *My Projects* and can be opened from there.

**Demo Projects** allow one to see how certain functionalities can be implemented in **Incari**. These range from a simple button to examples of the several methods of **Animation** available to the user. Discover more in the [**Demo Projects**](https://docs.incari.com/incari-studio/2023.2/demo-projects/overview) documentation.

## Applications

### Incari Studio

Under *Incari Studio*, one can install different versions of **Incari Studio**. This can be done by locating a folder on your local machine, where **Incari Studio** is installed, or using the built-in installer. If there are no installations, a message will appear prompting the user to either `Locate` or `Install` a version of **Incari Studio**. Otherwise, the user can use the icon on the top right to do the same.

Note: Locating does not install **Incari Studio**. It simply points to where it is already existing on your computer after you have clicked through the file library that pops up.

Please note that if an existing **Project** was made with a previous version of **Incari Studio**, and this version is not currently installed within **Incari Hub**, you will be prompted to upgrade to the most recent version or locate the compatible version. Otherwise it will be impossible to open the **Project**.

![Applications: Incari Studio](https://2561100106-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2Ff6JZovzOqBctA4C1o76u%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-477a9b0f4fb9013f17c9d50ae273c1c4bf1c946d%2Fincarihub5.png?alt=media)

### Incari Player

Under *Incari Player*, one can add specific versions of the **Incari Player** for different platforms. This is essential to successfully export **Projects** which utilize different *Target Platforms*, such as *Linux*. The **Incari Player** added should match the *Target* type eventually selected in the [**Exporter**](https://docs.incari.com/incari-studio/2023.2/modules/exporter) (it must first be added in the **Hub** to be useable in the **Exporter** of a **Project**).

![Applications: Incari Player](https://2561100106-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2Ff6JZovzOqBctA4C1o76u%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-84215fa01f99ed231e8b7c7f4987a25da0e497ae%2Fincarihubincariplayer.png?alt=media)

After adding a **Player**, it will appear like this in the **Hub**:

![Applications: Incari Player Added](https://2561100106-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2Ff6JZovzOqBctA4C1o76u%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-5648c7416874a6956c566a5ef5299cd6a5f1a99d%2Fincariplayerafterdownloadexample.png?alt=media)

The user then has the option to remove a **Player** by clicking the trash icon to the right.

## Settings

In *Settings*, the user can check whether they have *Visual Studio* installed, as per the [requirements](https://docs.incari.com/incari-studio/2023.2/getting-started/requirements). If it is not, they will be prompted to do so.

![Visual Studio Code Installer.](https://2561100106-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2Ff6JZovzOqBctA4C1o76u%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-9c3e8deb2ff1812fbae97fb659ef151044c19fec%2Fimage%20\(1\)%20-%20Copy.png?alt=media)

They can also connect to repositories using the `Add Endpoint` feature. **Projects** in this repository namespace will appear as an option in the upper right corner on the *Remote Projects* section.
