What version of Alice 3 is right for me?
The Alice website will automatically select the proper installer based on your operating system. In most cases the online installer is the preferred method of installation (denoted by the green download icon):
However, there are multiple installation options. Here is a breakdown of each one:
Online installer
The default and recommended Alice 3 installer. When run, it requires a live internet connection in order to install Alice.
Advantages:
- Small file size
- Only pulls what is needed to install or upgrade from an older version of Alice 3.
Disadvantages:
- Requires an internet connection during install
Offline installer
Includes the full Alice package. It is an alternate way to install Alice 3 for those who wish to have a fully self-contained installer.
Advantages:
- Once downloaded, does not require an internet connection to install
Disadvantages
Universal zip
If you have issue with the installers, try downloading and running the universal zip. It is compatible with Windows, Mac and Linux. Once uncompressed, it does not need to be installed. It is self contained and can be run by double-clicking the appropriate executable file (Alice.bat for Windows, Alice.app for Mac or alice.sh for Linux).
Advantages:
- Compatible with Windows, Mac and Linux
- Once downloaded, des not require an internet connection to get started
Disadvantages
- Cannot be upgraded
- Does not add an icon to your desktop
- Large file size

Updating Alice to the newest version
Alice 3 is beta software. That means we are continuing to add features, make improvements and fix bugs. If you are running an older version of Alice, we recommend you update to the latest release. You can tell if your copy of Alice is out of date by comparing the version number on the splash screen that appears when Alice starts up to the version on the Alice download page. If they don't match, your version is out of date.
To update Alice, download the latest release and run it. You will be presented with two options -- Install and uninstall. Click Install.
Depending on how major an update it is, this may take some time. There is no need for you to uninstall an older version of Alice prior to installing a new one.
Alice 2 cannot be upgraded to Alice 3. They are completely separate products and run independently of one another.
What is the NetBeans plugin?
The NetBeans plugin allows you to import your Alice program into the NetBeans IDE (http://netbeans.org/). You can then continue to code and execute your program within NetBeans.
At this time you cannot import your NetBeans code back into Alice. It's a one-way ticket.
How do I download and install the NetBeans plugin?
