• Choose the Revit tile, then click Select:

• Click the Login link to login to your Autodesk Account and access your student subscription.
• Click the Access Products button.

• Scroll down the list of products to the Revit tile.
• Select 2026 and Win 64 as the version to be installed.

• Click the INSTALL button
• IMPORTANT: If you see a DOWNLOAD button (instead of INSTALL), the Autodesk website has detected that you cannot install the software directly because you are in the wrong environment. This typically happens when you try to install Windows software from the Mac environment.

• If this happens, it's typically better to switch to the Windows environment and let the Autodesk installer do all the work.
• If you choose to Download the files to the Mac environment, you'll need to copy them over to the Windows file system, and do a manual install there by following these steps:
❗Downloaded the Windows Installation Files to Your Mac Hard Disk

• When you open the Autodesk software for the first time, you will be prompted to login using your Autodesk ID to confirm your eligibility to use the software.

You need to install the sample Revit families separately, and you can do that in two ways:

• If your disk space is limited, you may want to download these Revit families as needed -- one at a time. To do that:
• Open Revit Application.
• Switch to the Insert tab in the ribbon, and open the Load Autodesk Family tool (Insert > Load from Library > Load Autodesk Family).
• Browse or search for the Revit Family that you’d like to load, then click the Load button.
• If you have disk space available, it’s typically more convenient to download and install the entire Autodesk Content Library (which includes all the sample Revit families) on your computer all at once. To do that, download the file US English Content for Revit 2026 by following these steps.
• For Revit 2026, download the US English Content for Revit 2026 using this link:

RVTCPENU.exe



drive.google.com

• For other languages, go to this link, then click the Libraries tab and select the language you’d like to install.

• Run the RVTCPENU.exe (or app with a similar name for the language you selected), and accept the default choices to install the Autodesk Content Library in your Revit application.

After installing the Revit application,  be sure to run the Autodesk Access application from the Autodesk folder in your Start menu or the taskbar dock to install the latest product updates.

• Open the Autodesk Access app.
• Login using your Autodesk ID.
• Wait for the list of Available Updates to refresh, then click ALL of the Update buttons to install ALL of the Revit-related product updates and Revit extensions.

If your software is already up-to-date, the list of Available Updates may be empty.
