Setup gets Liquibase Secure running on every machine that uses it, from a developer's workstation to the build agents that run your pipelines.

The first pass runs in order. Check the system requirements, then install Liquibase and apply your license key. Verify the download if your security team requires it, and add the VS Code extension if your developers author changes in their editor.

Most of this happens once for each machine. You come back to it when a new release ships and you upgrade, or when you add a build agent. Once Liquibase is installed and licensed, review your scope and infrastructure to start creating your first change.
