How to download Audacity

Downloading and installing Audacity can be confusing because of the way Audacity's developers have organized the downloads.

You can start on Audacity's main download page. This page has quick links to Audacity for Windows and Mac, as well as supplemental information. But you can't actually download anything from here, and you may want to skip this page entirely.

For detailed download and installation information, go to either the Windows or Mac download pages:

• Download Audacity for Windows
• Download Audacity for Mac

© William Antonelli/Business Insider Each download page offers its own instructions on how to download Audacity. William Antonelli/Business Insider In both cases, when you're ready to actually download the program, you'll be sent to the download hub for Audacity. Here's where you'll find the actual installer links for Windows and Mac.

Beware: There's usually a large ad at the top of the hub with a prominent 'download' button. This isn't the Audacity download button, so don't click it.

Instead, look at the files below it and click the version you want to install (either 'Audacity Windows Installer' or 'Audacity macOS DMG'). That download file will save to your computer, where you can then run the installer and start using Audacity.
