The first step is to go to Stanford's Download Page. Near the top of the page is a search box. Enter the user name you would like to have and click the search button. Spaces are not allowed in the name so use the underscore character "_" as a replacement. If the name you have chosen is in use, you will need to select a different name.
Go to Stanford's Download Page. Select the version of the software that fits your operating system. For Windows and Macintosh you will have a choice between a command line version and a graphical version. The choice is yours but it is generally accepted that the command line version is slightly faster as it doesn’t have graphical calculations to perform. It is always a good idea to download the latest version. The command line version is what most of the frogs use and the latest version can always be found on the Links page.
