2.2 Software Installation Requirements

The MPLAB IPE application must be installed on your PC. It is available during the MPLAB X IDE installation process if the check box is selected (see the setup figure below). You do not need to install the MPLAB X IDE in order to use the IPE application. However, you may want to refer to the online help for the MPLAB X IDE for additional information. Also select the check boxes for the device support you want installed.
