Mac OS X (all versions) download here
The program is distributed as an Application (Assseq-app.zip), that only needs to be dropped in your App-folder (sometimes you need to unpack it manually)
OBS! On Mavericks or Sierra you might get an error message ”This application is damaged and can't be opened. You should move it to the Trash.” - The file is actually not damaged, it is just a bad error message. There is a settings in the ”Gatekeeper” that you need to change to be able to download software from other places than the App-store.

Windows (all versions) download here
Download and run Assseq-Setup.exe
- the setup program will default installation to directory
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Assseq"
Alternatively you can download the program Assseq.exe or assseq.jar from sub-directory
/without_installer_version/
NOTE: some virus scanners might block the installation and
need to be temporarily disabled.
Linux (all versions) download here
The simplest install is to download the file: assseq.install.run
(this is a executable archive that will copy the files to the /usr/bin/ and /usr/share/assseq/, and will also install a ".desktop" link to the start-menu on compatible systems.)
- after downloading you will likely need to change the execution rights of the install file:
chmod +x assseq.install.run
- install by issuing command:
sudo ./assseq.install.run
(most likely you need to sudo the installation, if you don't have super user rights to the system see below)
- start the program with command:
assseq (this is a sh-script that will execute java -jar assseq.jar)
Linux (alternative installation - as non super user)
1. Download the archive assseq.tgz and extract it into a directory of your choice.
2. Run program from this directory by issuing command
./assseq in the terminal
(this is a sh-script that will execute command java -jar assseq.jar)
NOTE: If you are running Linux, consider upgrading to Java 8, there is a significant improvement in drawing speed since it is using Linux built in XRender.
Installation is very simple (1 minute) - Java 8 installation instructions for Ubuntu/Debian/OpenSuse/RedHat
