@section gs_obtain Downloading & Installing QP™/C++
The most recommended way of obtaining QP/C++&trade; is by downloading the @webref{#Downloads, <b>QP-bundle&trade;</b>}, which includes QP&trade;/C++ as well as other QP&trade; frameworks and also the @webref{products/qm, QM&trade; modeling tool} and the @webref{products/qtools, QTools&trade; collection}. The main advantage of obtaining QP&trade;/C++ bundled together like that is that you get all components, tools and examples ready to go.
