# Installing (/docs/using/install)

Download PPROLint from your aescripts account, install its .ccx file and open its panel in Premiere Pro.



PPROLint is a UXP plugin for Premiere Pro. It needs **Premiere Pro 25.6 or later**, on macOS or Windows.

## Download [#download]

PPROLint is sold and delivered by [aescripts + aeplugins](https://aescripts.com): **Get PPROLint** on the [home page](/) leads to its page there. Download it from your aescripts account. The download holds the plugin as a `.ccx` file, the package of a UXP plugin.

To update PPROLint later, download the new version from your aescripts account and install it the same way.

## Install the .ccx file [#install-the-ccx-file]

Quit Premiere Pro first, then use one of these:

* **Double-click** the `.ccx` file. The Creative Cloud desktop app opens and asks you to confirm the installation. It may show a warning first, as for any plugin installed from a file.
* The **ZXP / UXP Installer** from aescripts + aeplugins: drop the `.ccx` file on it. See [aescripts.com/learn/zxp-installer](https://aescripts.com/learn/zxp-installer/).
* Adobe's command-line installer, the Unified Plugin Installer Agent (UPIA):

  ```sh title="macOS"
  "/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Desktop Common/RemoteComponents/UPI/UnifiedPluginInstallerAgent/UnifiedPluginInstallerAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/UnifiedPluginInstallerAgent" --install /path/to/PPROLint.ccx
  ```

  ```bat title="Windows"
  "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe Desktop Common\RemoteComponents\UPI\UnifiedPluginInstallerAgent\UnifiedPluginInstallerAgent.exe" /install C:\path\to\PPROLint.ccx
  ```

  Adobe lists [what its error codes mean](https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/apps/troubleshoot/plugin-installation-issues/plugin-installation-errors-using-exman-or-upia.html).

Do not copy the plugin's files into Adobe's plugin folders by hand: Premiere only loads plugins it installed itself.

## Open the panel [#open-the-panel]

In Premiere Pro, choose **Window > UXP Plugins > PPROLint > PPROLint**. The panel docks like any other: drag its tab next to your timeline.

Its toolbar has **Check now** and **Settings**. Settings opens a second panel, *PPROLint Settings*, also in **Window > UXP Plugins > PPROLint**.

Next, [start the 7-day trial or activate your license](/docs/using/license).
