All versions of Phantasm CS, Designer and Studio are supplied as standard Illustrator plugins and are installed manually. This task is very quick and easy and is described for each operating system below.

Note: when upgrading from earlier versions of the Trial version, it is strongly advised that you first remove the old plugin file before adding the new version. To do so, delete or remove the old Phantasm CS plugin file from the Illustrator Plug-ins folder.

Ensure you have quit Illustrator.

Double-click on the .bin (for Illustrator CS) or .zip (for Illustrator CS2 and CS3) archive you have received to extract the Phantasm CS plugin file.

Open the “Adobe Illustrator CS/CS2/CS3” folder installed in your Applications folder (if Illustrator is present in your Dock, you can Ctrl-Click the icon and opt for “Show in Finder” instead).

Within the Illustrator application folder you will find a folder called “Plug-ins”. Simply drop the Phantasm CS plugin file into this folder.

Start Illustrator.

Ensure you have quit Illustrator.

Double-click on the .zip archive you have received to extract the Phantasm CS plugin file.

Open “My Computer” and double-click on “Local Disk (C:)” (or the disc drive on which you installed Illustrator).

Open the folder “Program Files” » “Adobe” » “Adobe Illustrator CS/CS2/CS3” » “Plug-ins”.
Note that Windows may ask for confirmation that you wish to view the contents of these folders. Agree to do so.

Copy or move the Phantasm CS plugin file into this folder.

Start Illustrator.
