## Setup
## AE Extension installation

To install the extension, download, install [Anastasyi's Extension Manager](https://install.anastasiy.com/). Open Anastasyi's Extension Manager and select AfterEffects in menu.
:::tip
Once your admin has activated `After Effects` in the production bundle, you need to run the AYON launcher at least once. This allows the launcher to download the addon to the correct location on your computer.
After that, you can continue with the installation instructions for the After Effects extension.

1. Use your favorite app to install extensions. we recommend using [Anastasyi's Extension Manager](https://install.anastasiy.com/).

Alternatively, you can quickly navigate there using the environment variable shortcut: `%LOCALAPPDATA%\Ynput\AYON\addons\aftereffects_X.X.X\ayon_aftereffects\api`.
