DataWarrior was developed in the Java programming language and needs a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) to work. All installers on this side include the Liberica OpenJRE 8_282 from BellSoft. Thus, there is no need to install any Java software yourself.
The Linux Installer is a .tar.gz archive
with all needed files and a shell script to install files and register file types.
It has been tested on multiple 64-bit distributions with Gnome, KDE and other desktops.
The MacOS-X Installer is a .dmg image file.
The installation and file type registration is done by merely dragging the DataWarrior.app folder into your Application folder. DataWarrior is optimized for Retina displays.
The Windows Installer is an .msi file using the Windows standard installation mechanism. Therefore, a complete de-installation can be done any time later from the Windows Control Panel.

The newest source code is available on GitHub under the GNU V3 public license.
If you have installed the most recent official release for your operating system after downloading it from one of the links above,
and if you like experimenting, then you may upgrade any time to the newest inofficial development release. For that you would need to download a zip-file
for Linux and Macintosh or Windows. After downloading unpack the archive and copy all unpacked
files into the datawarrior installation directory, where they replace older versions. You may make a safe copy of the original files before replacing
them. Typically, development releases fix known issues and contain new exciting functionality, but are less tested, they may introduce new bugs
and new features are not always described in the manual. Development updates are released about weekly. The current source code is available on
GitHub.
