Installation on Windows
Under Windows, you simply download a zip file, unzip it into any directory and runFreeHAL-QT.exe. You can choose between the latest stable version and the latest development version.If you are interested in FreeHAL's current status, we suggest that you try the development version, however you should consider the problems mentioned below. If you only want a quick overview of FreeHAL without trying to use the features that are constantly evolving, we recommend that you use the following stable version.
In general FreeHAL is managed as a research project and does not purport to be bug-free. If a specific function in the development version does not work, please contact the development team at
info@freehal.org or enter a bug report!Stable Version
These are the so-called "stable" versions of FreeHAL. These versions appear every 1-3 months and do not reflect the current capabilities of FreeHAL. Bugs in stable releases will be corrected only in the developer versions or possibly only by the next stable version.You can download the latest stable version at: FreeHAL "Step 6".
Development Version
The development versions, which usually appear several times a day, are typically unstable and may crash sometimes. They are available for download with or without a database. If you choose the version without a database, a database will be created when you start theFreeHAL-QT.exe executable. This process takes some time.The latest development version can be found here: with database, without database.
