Automatic Installer

You can easily install Haxe by using one of the following automatic installers

Please note that the automatic installer also downloads and installs NekoVM which is used for some Haxe tools.

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 in C:/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.
