Choosing desktop software sources
Desktop software pages can distribute installers, portable builds, package-manager entries or links to a developer's own release. Before installing, verify the publisher and digital signature where available, read the license and note any bundled components. Keep installers updated and use operating-system security tools. A download directory is not a substitute for checking the source or the software's rights. The links on this page lead to third-party services, which manage their own files, terms and update policies.
- Prefer the developer's release page or a source that clearly identifies the publisher.
- Check digital signatures, file hashes and operating-system warnings where available.
- Review license terms, bundled offers, system requirements and update history.
- Back up important data before installing unfamiliar software.
