→Step 2. Installing SleepyHead
== Step 2. Installing SleepyHead ==
'''For Macs:''' The downloaded SleepyHead-20140622Testing-0.9.8-1-T3-MacOSX.dmg or SleepyHead-Testing-0.9.68-testbuild1-Qt5.3.0T3-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 Windows:''' The download presently comes as a zip file named SSleepyHead-20140623or as a self-Win32-0extracting .9.6-testbuild-Qt5.3.0-BrokenGL-WinXP-MinGWexe file for 32 bit and 64 bit Windows. It doesn't have an installer, so follow the instructions to determine if you need the 32 bit or 64 bit version. If in doubt, choose the 32 bit version. You need to save the file somewhere you can remember and unzip it. In order to run SleepyHead, you have to go into the unzipped SH folder and click on the SleepyHead application.exe file to launch the program. While you are in the unzipped SH folder, you can create a shortcut for future use so you don't have to go into the folder each time. I suggest right click mouse on the SleepyHead.exe file and choose "pin to start menu" or "pin to taskbar" for easy access.
'''For Linux machines:''' There are several different Linux packages available. They are stored in the Releases folder on the Sourceforge site. You can find them by going to https://sourceforge.net/projects/sleepyhead/files/Releases/Linux/ . Select the appropriate package for your particular Linux machine. Install the software in the normal way for your system. NOTE: I have NOT installed SH 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.
