# Install

## Install and activate the Tabnine plugin

Follow these steps to install and activate the Tabnine plugin in your IDE:

1. **Sign up** or **join** a Tabnine team.
2. **Install Tabnine on your IDE** (activate the plugin with your Tabnine user).
3. Follow the [**Quickstart Guide**](https://docs.tabnine.com/main/getting-started/quickstart) and start using Tabnine.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Follow the right docs**

The installation process is slightly different for a **Tabnine SaaS** and a **Tabnine private installation**.

We recommend following the Tabnine SaaS docs **unless you were told** by your team manager that your organization is using a private installation or **you know your organization's private Tabnine Server URL.**
{% endhint %}

### 1. Sign Up or Join a Tabnine Team

You can either sign up to create a new user or activate your user after receiving an invitation to join a Tabnine team.

**Sign Up**

If you're an individual developer or plan to start a Tabnine Pro team as an admin, [sign up ](https://app.tabnine.com/signup)and create a new user.

If you signed up using your work email, follow the link you receive at that address to verify your account.

**Join A Tabnine Team**

If you received an invitation to join a Tabnine team by email or by invitation link, you need to accept the invitation:

* [Join a Tabnine Enterprise Team (Private/Enterprise-SaaS)](https://docs.tabnine.com/main/getting-started/install/client-setup-private-installation/join-your-team-private-installation)

Once you've accepted the invitation and joined your team on Tabnine, you need to install and activate the Tabnine plugin or extension in your IDE.

### **2. Install Tabnine On Your IDE**

**Note:** There's a difference between installing a Tabnine plugin for Tabnine SaaS (all Starter and Pro users, some Enterprise users) and a Tabnine plugin for private installation (some Enterprise customers).

{% hint style="info" %}
You can install the Tabnine plugin in multiple IDEs.
