# Install and sign in

> Download the TiDani app or open it in your browser, then create your account and your workspace.

TiDani has a desktop app for Windows, macOS and Linux, and a version that runs in your browser. Use the desktop app on any computer whose files you want to share. The browser version can ask questions, but it cannot share a computer's folders.

## Install the desktop app

1. Open the [download page](/download) and pick your system.
2. Run the installer. On Linux you can also use this command: `[INSTALL COMMAND]`
3. Open TiDani.

## Sign in or create an account

1. Choose **Sign up**, or **Sign in** if you already have an account.
2. Use your email and a password, or choose Google.
3. If you forget your password, choose the reset link. We email you a code to confirm it is you, then you pick a new password. This also works if you signed in with Google.

## Set up your workspace

A workspace is the shared space for your team. It holds your people, your computers and your settings.

1. Give the workspace a name. Most people use their company name. Others see it when they join.
2. Give this computer a name your team will recognise. People see it beside answers that come from its files. Each person has one computer in a workspace.
3. Wait while TiDani gets ready to share. The first start can take a few minutes.

> **Joining a team that already uses TiDani?** Choose **I have an invite link** and paste the link from your invitation. You join the existing workspace instead of making a new one. If the link says it is used or replaced, ask whoever invited you to send it again.
