Download page

OSCAR is available at the official download page: https://sleepfiles.com/OSCAR/

There are OSCAR versions available for Windows, Apple Mac and Linux.

You may also read the page in a number of different languages - the list of languages is along the top of the page.

OSCAR is open source software, and there are links to the source code near the bottom of the page. Note that this is for software developers - the great majority of users don't need to worry about the source code.

Windows version

32 bit or 64 bit

The Windows version is available as both 32 bit and 64 bit. In general the 32 bit version would be used on older computers and the 64 bit on later computers. If you are unsure which version to use, type "About Windows" into the Windows search bar. A new window will open giving details about your computer, including whether it is a 32 bit or 64 bit system. (See image) If you are still in doubt, select the 32 bit version.

Download process

  • In page https://sleepfiles.com/OSCAR/ click the link for Windows 32 bit or 64 bit download.
  • The installation file will now download to your computer
    • Important: Some web browsers (eg Chrome) may give you a warning that the downloaded file is unsafe and may damage your computer. Provided you have downloaded Oscar from the link above you can safely ignore this warning and select "Keep file". Browsers other than Chrome (eg Edge, Firefox) may use a different format, but the concept is the same.
    • The usual (default) location for a downloaded file is My Downloads or C:\user\xxx\downloads where the xxx is replaced by your name (eg C:\user\bill\downloads)
    • You may have set your computer so that the default is in a different location.
  • Navigate to the download folder and identify the OSCAR installation file. It will have a name similar to, not not necessarily exactly the same as OSCAR-1.0.0-beta-7-Win32-57c3e4c3.exe
    • Double-click on this file to commence installation.

Important: Windows may attempt to block the execution of this program. You will see a popup window saying "Windows protected your PC".

At this point your anti-virus software may also block execution. Again you will need to select the option to run the file anyway - the exact details will vary considerably depending on which type of anti-virus software you have.

Apple Mac version

Linux version
