Tips & Warnings

Visit the Amaya page on the World Wide Web Consortium Web site to download the current version of Amaya (see Resources below).
There are many security features included with the Amaya software. When visiting or leaving a Web site, you won't have to worry about closing multiple pop-up windows, as Amaya has a pop-up blocker as part of the software.
Get more information about using Amaya by visiting the Amaya User Manual (see Resources below).
Check your Windows-based computer or Mac to make sure they have the minimum system requirements. Run at least Windows 95 or higher on your computer. Mac users should have OS X Jaguar (10.2) or higher.
If you single-click on a link in the browser, you will not activate the link. Instead double-click to visit a link.
Before you put these directions to use, make sure you're running version 9.54 of Amaya. All of the following steps apply to that version and will more than likely not work with previous versions.
