→Installing SleepyHead
To download SleepyHead, go to the [http://www.sleepfiles.com/SH2/ SleepyHead Download Page] and select the appropriate link for your computer. For most users, the installation should run smoothly by selecting the appropriate download link and following the instructions.
<b>Note:</b> JediMark has had some trouble keeping his security certificate up to date, and Kaspersky AntiVirus sometimes flags the SleepyHead installer as malware. It is not malware and it is safe to install. You may need to temporarily quit your antivirus software long enough for the SleepyHead installer to work. Once SleepyHead is installed, remember to turn your antivirus software back on.
====Program Location and Broken-GL in Windows====
Sleepyhead installs by default into Windows in the C:\Program Files(x86)\Sleepyhead. At the bottom of the list of folders and files are two EXE files.
* Sleepyhead.exe
* Sleepyhead-BrokenGL.exe
Some computers do not have a dedicated video card that meets the Open-GL video Graphics standards. If you have problems with displaying Sleepyhead, or it does not run when clicking on the Sleepyhead.exe link, use the Sleepyhead-BrokenGL.exe. This will solve most installation problems.
====Default Data Files File and Screenshots Screenshot Locations in Windows====
'''The default file location''' for the Sleepyhead data is in C:Users\username\Documents\Sleepyhead
This may be shortened in some computers to My Documents\Sleepyhead.
'''Screenshot Image Files'''
When you take a screenshot in Sleepyhead using the F12 key, it will be saved in the Screenshots subfolder. Screenshots are stored in full size and resolution using the Portable Network Graphic (.PNG) file type.
===For Macintosh OS X:===
SleepyHead 1.0.0-beta-2 runs on Macs running OS 10.7+. The downloaded file SleepyHead-1.0.0-beta-2.2-Snapshot-MacOSX-20160421.dmg should open up as a "Volume." Simply drag the SleepyHead icon to the Applications folder. Once the SleepyHead application has been copied to the Applications folder, it's useful to drag it to the Dock so that launching SleepyHead is easy.
The downloaded SleepyHead-Testing-0.9.8-1-T3-MacOSX.dmg or SleepyHead-Testing-0.9.8-1-T3-MacOSX-BrokenGL.dmg should open up as a "Volume" and you simply drag the SleepyHead icon to your Applications folder. Once the application has been copied to the Applications folder, it's useful to drag it to the Dock so that launching SleepyHead is easy. The "OpenGL" version will work with high performance video systems while the "BrokenGL" should work with all Macs. If in doubt, choose the BrokenGL version.
===For Linux:===
SleepyHead 1.0.0-beta-1 has an automated installer for Unbuntu 15.04. Download the installer, run it and follow the instructions. There is no installer for any other version of Linux. However, experienced Linux users can download the source and compile it if they want to run SleepyHead on a Linux system other than Unbuntu 15.04. Source code for SleepyHead is found at [https://gitlab.com/sleepyhead/sleepyhead-code JediMark's SleepyHead code] page.
There are several different Linux packages available. Some older versions are stored in the Releases folder on the Sourceforge site. You can find them by going [https://sourceforge.net/projects/sleepyhead/files/Releases/Linux/ here]. Select the appropriate package for your particular Linux machine. Install the software in the normal way for your system. NOTE: I have NOT installed SleepyHead on a Linux system, and I don't know how well the packages work. Most Linux users know their way around their system however, and are not newbies when it comes to downloading software. For the newer versions of SleepyHead for Linux, please refer to the wiki instructions on [http://www.apneaboard.com/wiki/index.php?title=Building_SleepyHead_from_source Building SleepyHead from Source] and a [http://www.apneaboard.com/forums/Thread-Building-SleepyHead-on-Linux forum thread here].
== Additional Notes ==
[[file:sleepyhead Profile.png]]<br />
<br />
If you are using a Philips Respironics machine, the most important part of the profile is to make sure you get the time zone correct on this first page. SleepyHead uses the time zone information to take the timestamps on the data and adjust it to local time if your machine uses GMT when recording the data. It's also important to remember to check the Daylight Savings time box if appropriate. If you make a mistake, you can edit the profile later. But it is easier to get the time right when you are creating the profile.

As the page says, it's reasonable to click on Preferences and double check some things first. If you need help, [[#Important preferences settings|jump to 7. Important preference settings]]
Put the SD card into the SD slot if you have not already done that. If your computer does not have an SD slot, you will need to buy a generic SD card reader and put the SD card in that.
'''WARNING:''' It's wise to make sure the card is locked if you are using a Mac or a Windows 8.1 or Windows 10 machine since these operating systems will write hidden files to unlocked cards. And the ResMed S9 machines will reject SD cards with any extra files written on them. See [[Secure Digital (SD) memory card]]for instructions on locking a card.
Once the card has been mounted to the computer system, you still need to import the data into SleepyHead. There are three different ways to Import the data:
# The Import Icon on the sidebar. Click this and it starts the import process.
