• Do you offer a Mac version of your software?

    Grapher 12 is a Windows program. Golden Software does not offer any versions of our software that are compatible with any Mac operating systems. However, we have heard from several users that our programs will run on a Windows emulator. Windows emulators allow a Windows environment to run on a Mac operating system. Golden Software products may be able to be run from within the Windows emulator. However, we do not test our software under these conditions. We suggest downloading the demos and trying it for yourself. Thank you for your patience.

  • How can I get the latest version of Grapher?

  • How do I install Grapher?

    Installing Grapher 12 requires that you be logged into an account that has Administrator rights. Golden Software does not recommend installing Grapher 11 over any previous version of Grapher. Please ensure that you install Grapher 12 into a new directory, which is what will happen by default. Grapher 12 can co-exist with older versions as long as they are in different directories.

    To begin the installation, either insert the CD into the CD-ROM drive, or double-click on the downloaded EXE file to run it. See below for details of each method.

  • Should I install the Grapher 32-bit or Grapher 64-bit?

    If you are using a 32-bit version of Windows, then Grapher 12 32-bit is installed automatically.

    If you are using a 64-bit version of Windows, then Grapher 12 64-bit is installed automatically. There is an option to install the 32-bit version instead, but we recommend installing the 64-bit version of Grapher 12. Although Grapher 32-bit is capable of installing and running on Windows 64-bit, the 32-bit version of Grapher 12 does not take advantage of the increased 64-bit memory space.
