This chapter describes the steps to install the software tools and packages on a PC for using the
PSoC 4100S Plus Prototyping Kit. This includes the IDE on which the projects will be built and used
for programming.
2.1
Before You Begin
To install Cypress software, you will require administrator privileges. However, they are not required
to run the software that is already installed. Before you install the kit software, close any other
Cypress software that is currently running.

Follow these steps to install the PSoC 4100S Plus Prototyping kit software:
1. Download the PSoC 4100S Plus Prototyping kit software from

The kit software is available in three formats for download.
a.
CY8CKIT-149 Kit Only:
This executable file installs only the kit contents, which include kit
code examples, hardware files, and user documents. This package can be used if all the
software prerequisites (listed in step 5) are installed on your PC.
b.
CY8CKIT-149 Kit Setup:
This installation package contains the files related to the kit
including PSoC Creator and PSoC Programmer. However, it does not include the Windows
Installer or Microsoft .NET framework packages. If these packages are not on your PC the
installer will direct you to download and install them from the Internet.
c.
CY8CKIT-149 DVD ISO:
This file is a complete package stored in a DVD-ROM image format
that you can use to create a DVD or extract using an ISO extraction program such as WinZip
or WinRAR. The file can also be mounted like a virtual CD/DVD using virtual drive programs
such as Virtual CloneDrive and MagicISO. This package includes all the required software,
utilities, drivers, hardware files, and user documents.
2. If you have downloaded the ISO file, mount it in a virtual drive. Extract the ISO contents if you do
not have a virtual drive to mount. Double-click
cyautorun.exe
in the root directory of the extracted
content or mounted ISO if “Autorun from CD/DVD” is not enabled on the PC. The installation
window will appear automatically.

If you are using the Kit Setup or Kit Only file, then go to step 4 for installation.
