@section gs_obtain Downloading & Installing QP™/C++
The most recommended way of obtaining QP/C++™ is by downloading the @webref{#Downloads, <b>QP-bundle™</b>}, which includes QP™/C++ as well as other QP™ frameworks and also the @webref{products/qm, QM™ modeling tool} and the @webref{products/qtools, QTools™ collection}.
