SAM requires Windows 10/8/7, and is available as 64-bit or 32-bit.

Windows Installation Instructions

• Double click the .exe installation file and follow the instructions in the installation wizard. By default SAM will install in the c:/SAM/2018.11.11 folder.

SAM requires OS X 10.9 or later.

Mac Installation Instructions

• Double-click the disk image (.dmg file) to open it, and drag the SAM icon to your applications folder. This adds the SAM.app application to your Applications folder.
• If you see a message about verifying SAM that prevents you from starting SAM:
  1. Open a Finder window, go to the Applications folder, and open the SAM disk image.
  2. Control-click the SAM app icon, click Open, and follow the prompts to open the application from an unknown developer and save SAM as an exception to your security settings. For some older versions of OS X, a security feature called Gatekeeper may prevent you from starting SAM. For more on bypassing Gatekeeper, see this CNET article.

Note: SAM will not display correctly in macOS Dark Mode. Please switch to Light Mode before starting SAM.

In Linux, the .run file is a self-extracting archive. By default it installs in /home/SAM/ or /opt/SAM/.
