#. Install what you want and what you need. It is recommended to install as shown below. Uncheck `System Generator for DSP` and do not install it because this is not used and can lead to errors in MATLAB since this is a MATLAB-Toolbox. To reduce the required disk space, it is sufficient to only install the **Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC** Devices. Other devices can be added later, but cannot be removed.
