## Before Use

**🍎Only for macOS 13.0+.**

>
> 1. Before installing Adobe products, the Adobe Setup component must be present on your system; otherwise, the
     installation feature will not work. You can download it through the built-in “Settings” in the program or
     from [Adobe Creative Cloud](https://creativecloud.adobe.com/apps/download/creative-cloud).
> 2. To enable smooth installation after downloading, Adobe Downloader needs to modify Adobe’s Setup program. This
     process is fully automated by the program and requires no user intervention. Many thanks
     to [QiuChenly](https://github.com/QiuChenly) for providing the solution.
> 3. If you encounter any problems, don't panic, contact [@X1a0He](https://t.me/X1a0He_bot) on Telegram or use the
     Python
     version. Many thanks to [Drovosek01](https://github.com/Drovosek01) for
     the [adobe-packager](https://github.com/Drovosek01/adobe-packager)
> 4. ⚠️⚠️⚠️ **All Adobe apps in Adobe Downloader are from official Adobe channels and are not cracked versions.**
> 5. ❌❌❌ **Do not use an external hard drive or any USB to store it, as this will cause permission issues, I do not have
     the patience to solve any about permission issues**

## FAQ

**This section will be updated periodically with meaningful issues that have been raised.**

### **[NEW] About error codes and Helper**

Before version 1.3.0, many operations required users to enter passwords because root permissions or higher permissions
were not obtained

Therefore, we introduced the Helper mechanism in version 1.3.0. You only need to install the Helper and then the
subsequent Setup component processing. Product installation no longer requires entering a password

You may see relevant prompts in the upper right corner. Please rest assured that your system is very safe. This is
because of macOS's Helper mechanism and signed pop-up windows

If you are still worried about problems, please find a professional to check the relevant code, although it is futile

### Questions about the Setup Component

> It’s mentioned in the usage instructions that to use the installation feature, you need to modify Adobe’s setup
> component. You can find details in the code.

Why is this necessary? Without modifications, installation will fail with error code 2700.

> **Does the setup modification require user intervention?**

No, Adobe Downloader automates the setup component handling, including backup. All you need to do is enter your password
when prompted.
