yWriter5 by Spacejock Software
WinXP or later, Mono 2.4 or later
|
yWriter5 is designed for Windows XP, Vista and beyond. Win98 and Win2k users should be able to use it, but those operating systems are unsupported. yWriter5 will also run under Mono 2.4 or later on Gnu/Linux. Tested on Gentoo and Ubuntu 9.10.
These downloads contain yWriter5 version 5.1.4.8, dated 16/Jul/2010
(The files above are identical. Don't download them both.)
If you need them, yWriter2, yWriter3 and yWriter4 are still available.
Why is this software free?
Installing on Windows:
1) Download and run the installation file.
2) Follow the prompts to set it up. (The defaults are fine)
3) Locate the Spacejock Software entry in your start menu. The program you just installed will have an entry there. Click the program icon to run it.
4) If you get an error message about a missing framework, visit this page and download the dotnet 2.0 runtime.
Installing on Mac OS X: This page contains instructions for installing yWriter5 and Mono on OS X. The rest of my apps use the same procedure.
Installing on Linux: This page contains instructions for installing yWriter5 and Mono on Linux. As per the Mac, you can use the same procedure for all my dotnet 2.0 apps.
System Requirements:
This program runs on the Microsoft Dotnet Framework, which can be installed on any version of Windows from Win98 on. (e.g. Win98, ME, Win2K, XP, Vista, Windows 7, etc) Note that it's already included with Windows Vista or later.
Hardware requirements:
An Athlon or Pentium 4 with 512 megs of ram will be ample. Should also run fine on older hardware.
Linux users:
Some of my apps will also run on the Mono framework, version 2.2 or later. See the yWriter5 Linux page to see whether this application has been tweaked for Linux yet.
You can run this program from a memory stick. See How to run your applications from a thumb drive for more info
