Windows and macOS users:

Download the file for your operating system and double-click on it.
No need to uninstall any old versions of SooSL.
(Windows exception: If you want to install to a different location than your old version,
 then you will need to uninstall your old version first.)

For "silent" installation under Windows, run the installer in a command prompt window with either the "/SILENT" or "/VERYSILENT" command line parameter.
For more information about these command line parameters and others that may be useful, see: https://jrsoftware.org/ishelp/index.php?topic=setupcmdline

Linux users (Ubuntu and Debian) have two ways to install SooSL:

  1. Setup access to the packages.sil.org repositories.
    (Wasta-Linux already has this access setup.)
    (Debian users may need to edit the SIL repository in "Software & Updates" to include "contrib":
    "http://packages.sil.org/debian trixie main contrib".)
  2. Download the.deb file to the left for your system. Install using your favourite package manager, or in a terminal change to your download directory and type: "sudo apt install <<path_to_deb_file>>".
  • Videos may not display when running SooSL under some virtual environments; it is best to run on a true Linux computer.
  • First time Linux users: If you've never installed SooSL before, it "may" not start on your first attempt, but please try again, as it will probably run on your second try.
  • Installation instructions also found in README.
