OSCAR installation process

Installing OSCAR requires only a few steps:

  1. Download the OSCAR installer for your computer from the official download page.
  2. Install OSCAR. This process differs for each type of computer, see below for details.
  3. Run OSCAR and select where you want OSCAR to save your data when it asks you. You can simply accept its recommendation.
  4. If you're new to to all of this, set up a new profile and import the data from your machine (see Running OSCAR for the first time). Alternatively, if you've been using SleepyHead, you can migrate your previous SleepyHead data (see below).

Download and install

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

There are OSCAR versions available for Windows, Apple Mac and Linux. Detailed instructions may be found at the following links:

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.

OSCAR data folder and migrating SleepyHead data

OSCAR needs to set up a folder to store your data in. It can also migrate your existing SleepyHead data across to the new OSCAR data folder.

Copying SleepyHead data (advanced users)

If you don't migrate your SleepyHead data during the installation process, you may be able to copy the raw data later. This is a little bit tricky and only recommended for advanced users.
