Download framework

If you are new to Tuya Wind IDE, choose Create Framework.

A framework consists of Development Mode, Type Development Kit, Development Platform, and TuyaOS Version.

• Choose TuyaOS OS Development for development mode.
• Choose a type development kit based on your needs.
• Choose a development platform based on your needs.
• Generally, choose the latest version for the TuyaOS version.

Generally, use the default location to save the project. If you run a Linux virtual machine on a Windows host, we recommend you change the location to a shared folder created using Samba. This can facilitate the usage of the flashing tool installed on Windows. After you finish, click Done to download the framework.

The framework will be opened automatically after downloading.
