There are several collections of Csound downloads available on this site (what Sourceforge
calls "file packages"). The
Csound 5
file package contains all of the most recent releases. You can
download the most recent version below or view descriptions of the
obsolete file packages
The most recent version of Csound for each platform is available below.
All of the binary packages include the HTML manual unless otherwise noted.

If you are using Debian GNU/Linux, Ubuntu Linux, or another Debian-based system, there are recent Csound
.deb packages available from their respective software repositories (at least version 5.08). You can
install these as you would any other Debian software.

You may want to try these packages on other Linux distributions as well or you can
compile Csound
from the current source code.

Download the Mac OS X package that matches your version of OS X and your computer's CPU architecture.
Download an "Intel" version if you have a MacBook, MacPro, or iMac with an Intel "Core" processor
unless you also plan to use MacCsound (see below). Download a "PowerPC"
version if you have a PowerMac, Powerbook, iBook, or other older Mac with a G3, G4, or G5 processor.
|
|
Many Mac users prefer to use the MacCsound application
by Matt Ingalls that provides a user-friendly Mac interface to Csound.
MacCsound is distributed separately but still requires that you download and install one of the Csound packages below.
Note: MacCsound currently does not work with the Intel package. You must install one of the
PowerPC packages if you want to use MacCsound, even if you have an Intel Mac.

Python-compatibility note: All of the latest Mac OS X packages are built on OS X 10.4 "Tiger" and include
a Python opcode module and a Python interface module that are compatible with the Apple-supplied Python 2.3 on
10.4. Optionally, if you have installed MacPython 2.4 or 2.5 on 10.4, you can choose the package below that
matches your version of Python (and CPU) to obtain a Python interface module that will work with your user-installed
Python. The Python opcode module always uses the Apple-supplied Python 2.3 on 10.4.
While most components in these packages will also work on OS X 10.5, the Python API interface (csnd module) will
not work without additional configuration and the Python opcodes may not work at all. Even though OS X 10.5 comes
with Python 2.5, the easiest solution for obtaining a working Python csnd module is to
install MacPython 2.5 and then install the Csound package with
support for MacPython 2.5. Another solution on 10.5 that will also provide
working Python opcodes is to compile Csound
from sources, using whichever version of Python you have installed.
