The Tabula Rasa installer is a small client downloader program available from the Tabula Rasa FTP site (ftp.playtr.com) that will automatically download and install the correct version of the client. The client is approximately 3GB in size and may take several hours to download depending on the speed of your Internet connection. It is important to ensure that there is enough space on the drive to which the client is downloaded. (After the final installation and upon running the game, any patches released since the installer version was created will be downloaded as well. The final disk space requirement then is about 4 GB.)

If you keep the default setting of "Run This Program When Done" in the Options menu, the installer will automatically install Tabula Rasa upon completion of the download. If the option is turned off, you will need to run the downloaded client installation file manually from the "Save to" location specified in the initial download screen.
