All Proteome Software programs are distributed via our website as free downloads, and the viewer and the full version of each program can be installed using the same installer.
Links to download the full range of products can be found here. Programs are broken down into three categories: DDA proteomics, DIA proteomics, and small molecule/metabolomics.
- Download the appropriate product from the link above making sure to select the proper operating system.
- Once the installer finishes downloading double click to run
- When running any of our installers, you will be asked whether you would like to overwrite an existing installation or install into a different directory. If you have a previous version installed on your computer choose the first option. This will overwrite the existing installation.
- Follow the wizard to complete the installation and allow the software to open. In most cases the installation defaults are sufficient.
- Scaffold DIA and Scaffold Elements require installing ProteoWizard in order to process vendor-formatted raw data. Click on the download ProteoWizard button when prompted to do so. Work your way through the ProteoWizard installer making sure to install for all users on your computer. Then return to the Proteome Software installer to complete installation.
