If you don't know what source code is, see thearticle in Wikipedia. Information on how to verify the downloaded packages using the signature can be found here.

2. LyX installers (binary versions)

Binary versions of LyX for installing in different operating systems can be found below or on the FTP site. The binaries are also gpg-signed.

2.1 Windows binaries (Windows 7 and later)

NOTE: Before you install LyX on Windows, you need to install a TeX distribution. For more information on how to do this, please see this page on the LyX wiki.

Windows Installer (64 bit): LyX-2361-Installer-3-x64.exe (~57 MB) (GPG signature)

Windows Installer (32 bit): LyX-2361-Installer-3-x32.exe (~54 MB) (GPG signature)

Binaries for Cygwin:lyx-2.3.6.1-cygwin.tar.gz (~58MB) (GPG signature)

In case one of the links above does not work, try this mirror. If the download is too slow try some other mirror closer to you.

2.2 Mac OS X binaries

LyX for Mac OS X is available here: LyX-2.3.6.2+qt5-12-x86_64-cocoa.dmg, and the GPG signature is here.

Binaries for older versions of Mac OS X are available here: LyX-2.3.6.2+qt5-legacy-x86_64-cocoa.dmg, and the GPG signature is here. Some functionality is not available with these (e.g., SyncTeX).

Before you install LyX you need to install a TeX system such as MacTeX.

In case the links above do not work, try this mirror. If the download is too slow try some other mirror closer to you.

On Mac OS X Mountain Lion you'll get the error message:'LyX' can't be opened because it is from an unidentified developer. See the explanation here for a work around.

See the LyX/Mac wiki page for further installation tips.

2.3 Linux binaries

Major Linux distributions take care of LyX binaries themselves and you will find LyX in their repositories. For more details about your distribution look in our wiki.

For Ubuntu users, Liviu Andronic maintains a stable PPA (Personal Package Archive). See the LyX on Ubuntu wiki page for information and instructions.

The versions of LyX on a variety of Linux distributions (as shipped with the vanilla distribution) can be seen on the snippet below. We usually choose testing/unstable repositories. For more detailed listing go here.

6. Mirrors

Please use one of the ftp mirrors below in case our default server (located in France) is slow or unavailable. Both ftp://ftp.lyx.org and https://ftp.lip6.fr/ point to the same primary server, but unless you actively check the signatures of downloaded files, you better use https protocol.

Note that we don't have any direct control over the content in the mirrors, so you are well advised to check signatures of the downloaded files to make sure they are identical to those on the primary site.

7. Checksums & signing

We provide gpg-signed tarballs and binaries. That allows you to check integrity of downloaded package and provides guaranty that no one tampered with the binary on the ftp server or on the way to your computer. Our GPG key ID is 0xDE7A44FAC7FB382D (LyX Release Manager). The signatures are found next to the tarballs and binaries.

• To initially import our key via GnuPG, do this:gpg --recv-keys FE66471B43559707AFDAD955DE7A44FAC7FB382D

Attention: Please be careful to use this full fingerprint, spoofed version of shortened fingerprint is already in the wild and it is easy to make new fake ones!

• After that, each time you need to verify a tarball:gpg --verify lyx-2.3.6.tar.gz.sig

to check the signature (or any other signed file you want to verify). Watch out for the 'Good signature...' string.
