Install Roblox Studio

Before anything else, you need the tool you'll use for the whole course. Roblox Studio is the free app where games are built.

#Download and sign in

1. Go to the Roblox website and sign in (create an account if you don't have one — you'll need it to build, test, and publish).
2. Find the Create or Studio button in the top bar.
3. Download and run the installer. Studio downloads itself on first launch — be patient, it's a big app the first time.

When Studio opens, sign in with the same account. Studio remembers you, so this is usually once per machine. If you can see your profile in the corner, you're in.

#Start from a Baseplate

Studio opens on a home page with a grid of templates. You want Baseplate — a flat gray platform floating in space. It's the cleanest starting point: empty world, solid floor, nothing else.

1. Click the Baseplate template.
2. Wait for it to load. You'll see the 3D view with the gray baseplate in the middle.

Press Ctrl+S (Cmd+S on Mac) and save it as something like LearningProject. Studio saves places to the cloud under your account.

#Your workspace is ready

Close Studio, reopen it, and open LearningProject again from the home page. That round trip — close, reopen, find your place — is how you'll open your work every day from now on.
