# Getting Started

## Downloading the Rig

If you haven't downloaded the rig, you can get it on [Gumroad](https://endertainer007.gumroad.com/l/EndRig). The rig is available for free. But you can get the optional Extra Content that includes additional presets, additional modules, and more.

To download the rig for free, select the `Base Content` option, fill in the price column with `$0`, and select the `I want this!` button.

After that, you'll be asked for your email address. Just fill it up and select the `Get` button.

Once you've done that, you'll be greeted with this page. This is where you download the rig. Note that there might be several versions available. The Latest version folder contains all the MCS versions of the rig, while the Legacy version folder contains all the previous versions of the rig (R1, R2, and Remastered).

{% hint style="info" %}
It is recommended that you download the latest version available. Using a legacy version is fine, but it might have issues or even be broken in a newer version of Blender.

## Guides
