## Additional Notes

  Design Space requires an active internet connection to access your saved projects, images library, and fonts. However, once you've loaded a project, some editing and basic functions remain available if your connection drops temporarily.
</Info>

<Tip>
  Enable automatic updates on your device so Design Space always stays current with the latest features, bug fixes, and compatibility updates for new Cricut machines.
</Tip>

## Troubleshooting Installation

<Accordion title="What if Design Space won't install?">
  If Design Space fails to install or won't open after installation, try the following steps:

  1. **Uninstall the existing version first.** On Windows, go to Settings → Apps and remove Cricut Design Space. On Mac, drag it from Applications to Trash. Then re-download a fresh copy.
  2. **Temporarily disable antivirus software.** Some antivirus programs block the installer from running. Disable your antivirus, run the installer, then re-enable it once installation completes.
  3. **Verify system requirements.** Confirm your device meets the minimum OS, RAM, and storage requirements listed above. Design Space will not install on unsupported systems.
  4. **Try the offline installer.** Visit [cricut.com/setup](https://cricut.com/setup) and look for the offline installer option — this version bundles all components and can resolve issues caused by interrupted downloads.
  5. **Contact Cricut Support.** If none of the above resolves the issue, reach out to [Cricut Member Care](https://cricut.com/en_us/contact-us.html) for additional assistance.
