Installer

Our standalone Windows installer includes our latest plugins for Archicad, Revit, Rhino, SketchUp and Navisworks and can be downloaded for free from arkio.is/download. The installer will take you through the setup steps and the plugins you'd like to include.Β

When you start Arkio on Windows, we will automatically check for new updates. If an update is available, you can download it directly from the summary pop-up and walk through the installation steps.

Arkio on Windows automatically starts in VR if a VR headset is detected. If no VR headset is connected, we will start Arkio in non-VR mode. While in VR mode, you can also enable PC+VR mode, allowing you to collaborate with two users on the same PC: one in VR and the other on the PC screen.

Steam

Arkio can also be added to your Steam library by searching for Arkio on the Steam store. After installation, Arkio can be found under the "Software" category in your Library tab. (Arkio's Steam installation does not include our import/export plugins and is mainly intended for SteamVR headsets that don’t start up correctly with the main PC installer version of Arkio)

Arkio on Steam supports SteamVR headsets and the non-VR desktop mode. You can choose between these versions while launching the app from Windows.

Meta Quest Link Store

Arkio can also be installed through the Meta Quest Link Store by searching for Arkio on the store and installing the app. The Meta Quest link store version of Arkio needs to be installed once to support Meta Avatars and controller mapping on your Arkio in PC link mode. (Arkio's Quest link store installation does not include our import/export plugins)
