Sierra Desktop App (InstallAnywhere Web Installer)

Sierra Desktop App

Available Installers

To install the Sierra Desktop Application (SDA) on your Windows, MacOSX, or Linux machine, you can use either a self-extracting (SFX) archive file or a ZIP file. Both file types include everything required for the SDA, including a Java virtual machine that is independent from your system Java. In most cases, the self-extracting archive is the easiest way to install the SDA. If the SFX archive file fails or if you want to configure the installation manually, use the ZIP installer. The ZIP file contains both the installer and a script; the script can be used to configure the SDA automatically.
