This section describes the installation process of the TRAKTOR software on Mac and on Win-
dows.
2.1 Important Software Installation Information
Before starting the TRAKTOR software installation, here are some points to be aware of:
• Make sure you have downloaded the TRAKTOR software to your computer by following the
instructions on the registration page:
http://www.native-instruments.com/go-d2
If you have already registered your device but need to download the installer again, you
can find the relevant downloads in the "My Account" section of the NI website:
https://www.native-instruments.com/en/my-account/my-products-serials
• Carefully review the installer screens and the suggested installation paths in order to avoid
that any unwanted folders are created on your hard disk.
• Moving any folders related to Native Instruments software after installation is not recom-
mended. Future software updates rely on the directory locations set during initial installa-
tion.
• After successful installation, you will find the TRAKTOR software installation folder on
your hard disk containing the application and the documentation resources. If you instal-
led using the default settings, these folders can be found here:
◦ Mac OS X: Macintosh HD/Applications/Native Instruments/Traktor 2/
◦ Windows: C:\Program Files\Native Instruments\Traktor 2\
If you are using a Mac, continue reading with the following section ↑2.2, Installation on Mac
OS X and install the TRAKTOR software as explained. If you want to install the TRAKTOR soft-
ware on a Windows computer, continue reading with section ↑2.3, Installation on Windows and
