# Installation
## Using configurator
## Using the configurator
This is a generic procedure to flash a board using the configurator. The configurator does not yet support all boards, so please check the doc that corresponds to your board before proceeding. Check [the docs folder](https://github.com/cleanflight/cleanflight/tree/master/docs) for a file named "Board - xxxx.md" where xxxx is the name of your board.
Use the firmware flasher in the cleanflight configurator.
Make sure you have the [cleanflight configurator](https://github.com/cleanflight/cleanflight-configurator) installed, then:
* Connect the flight controller to the PC.
* Start the cleanflight configurator.
* Click on "Disconnect" if the configurator connected to the board automatically.
* Click on the "Firmware Flasher" tab.
* Make sure you have internet connectivity and click on the "Load Firmware [Online]" button.
* Click on the "Choose a Firmware / Board" dropdown menu, and select the latest stable version for your flight controller.
* If this is the first time CF is flashed to the board, tick the "Full Chip Erase" checkbox.
* Connect the flight controller board to the PC.
* Click on the "Flash Firmware" button and hold still (do not breathe, too).
* When the top bar becomes green and reads "Programming: SUCCESSFUL" you are done! Disconnect the board and click out of the Firmware Flasher tab.
