Download the App

There are two versions available for windows, a portable standalone executable that requires no installation, as well as a standard installable version. For most users the installable version is the correct choice. However if you are unable to install Dedoose on an organizationally owned machine, the portable will be the best choice.

Currently, the only OSX version is a standalone Apple Disk Image (.dmg).  Be sure that once you have downloaded the installer you follow the instructions to drag and drop the application in to your folder, as seen below.

Note that you may need to also download and install Microsoft Fonts via your Linux distribution's repository or install them manually. The following is an example for Arch Linux:

Please note this is an experimental build compiled on Debian/Ubuntu but has been tested on several distributions. We currently don't offer packages yet but those should become available in the coming months.
