Welcome to Processing! Start by visiting [https://processing.org/download](https://processing.org/download) and selecting the Mac, Windows, or Linux version, depending on what machine you have. Installation on each machine is straightforward:

21-
- On Windows, you'll have a .zip file. Double-click it, and drag the folder inside to a location on your hard disk. It could be Program Files or simply the desktop, but the important thing is for the processing folder to be pulled out of that .zip file. Then double-click processing.exe to start.
22-
- The Mac OS X version is also a .zip file. Double-click it and drag the Processing icon to the Applications folder. If you're using someone else's machine and can't modify the Applications folder, just drag the application to the desktop. Then double-click the Processing icon to start.
23-
- The Linux version is a .tar.gz file, which should be familiar to most Linux users. Download the file to your home directory, then open a terminal window, and type:
24-
25-
`tar xvfz processing-xxxx.tgz`
26-
27-
(Replace `xxxx` with the rest of the file's name, which is the version number.) This will create a folder named `processing-2.0` or something similar. Then change to that directory:
28-
29-
`cd processing-xxxx`
30-
31-
and run it:
32-
33-
`./processing`
21+
- On Windows, you'll have an installer. Double-click it, and Processing will be installed. After installation, you can find Processing in the start menu or on your desktop. Double-click the icon to start.
22+
- The macOS version is an installer image. Double-click it and drag the Processing icon to the Applications folder. Then launch Processing by double-clicking the icon in the Applications folder
23+
- The Linux and Raspberry Pi versions are available on the Snap Store. Installation instructions for Snap and Processing are available on the store page.

With any luck, the main Processing window will now be visible. Everyone's setup is different, so if the program didn't start, or you're otherwise stuck, visit the [troubleshooting](https://github.com/processing/processing4/wiki/Troubleshooting) page for possible solutions.
