# DxCore Installation

## Supported IDE versions
megaTinyCore requires a version of the IDE later than 1.6.3; - it may require a much more recent version of the IDE; this has not been tested. It has been tested with 1.8.9 and 1.8.13. 1.8.14 introduced a serious regression that prevents all compilation ("panic no major version found" when 1) the major version uses variable substitution and 2) it only impacts manual installation). When it manifests, it effects ALL board definitions. Versions prior to 1.8.13 are impacted by a serious bug in the list of programmers they present (they assume all programmers can program all parts). Hence we recommended 1.8.13. To use
manual installaation to the IDE from 2.4has to be done manually, as a stopgap measure we are manually doing this in the versions we send out.otherwise to use pre-1.5.0 DxCpre l, and IDE version later than 1.8.13+, you need to patch platform.txt:

## Manual Installation
Manual installation allows the latest version of the core to be installed, with fixes that may not yet be available in the board manager version of the core. Manual installation is recommended if you are working on developing or modifying the core - however, the requirements are brutal.
