What are you planning to use? (C++, C#, Python, etc.) What operating system are you targeting?
Click on "Register" or "Sign Up". You will need to provide your name, email address, company name (or state that you are an independent developer), and a brief description of your intended project.
Before diving into installation, it's crucial to understand what the EDSDK is and what it can do for your project.
