Support is provided at the following locations:

Installation of VE-Suite is fairly straightforward. Visit the Downloads section and locate your operating system.

Windows: Two installers are provided for Windows. Each installer will guide you through the process of selecting various options. One installer, vesuite#.#.#_####.exe, contains the core VE-Suite binaries and .dll files. The dependencies installer, vesuite_deps#.#.#.exe, contains the binaries and .dll files of VE-Suite's dependencies, arranged to include bin, lib, and share subdirectories.

Unix: A tar.gz file of the current release of VE-Suite is provided. You can extract the VE-Suite.#.#.# directory from it. Instead of one central dependencies directory, we provide the dependencies' rpm files. Be sure to install the necessary dependencies before running VE-Suite.

Macintosh: One installer is provided for Macintosh OS: VE-Suite Installer 20xx-xx-xx.pkg. It contains the core VE-Sute binaries and .dll files as well as the binaries and .dll files of VE-Suite's dependencies.
