Automatic Installer
You can easily install Haxe by using one of the following automatic installers .
- Download Windows Installer
- Download OSX Universal Installer
- Download Linux Installer
Please note that the automatic installer also downloads and installs Neko.
It seems that the Windows Installer is reported as infected by some antivirus software. This is a false report and you can safely run the program on your system: if it happens, please contact the antivirus' vendor so they can fix the issue as soon as possible. Due to some ACL issues with Windows Vista and Win7, Haxe will install itself inC:/Motion-Twin/haxe on these systems. Sorry for the inconvenience but using ProgramFiles was causing too many issues.
Mac OSX users on Leopard ( 10.5 ) need to patch with a nightly haxe, see below.
