Decide which type of poker game you want to download. If you want to download a strictly "for fun" poker game, visit a website that sells or offers downloads of the games. If you want to download an online poker client program that will allow you to connect to a network and play other players in real time, choose one of the "online poker rooms" and download their software. Some online poker rooms allow you to play for real money.

Consider whether you want to play online or offline. Playing online means that you can play with other players for real or play money. Playing offline means you can play anytime against computer generated opponents.

Click on the one that you are interested in. Check the requirements to ensure that your computer can run the program. Keep in mind that some poker games and online poker room software only work on one operating system.
Check to see if the online poker room is available for use by citizens of the current country you live in. For example, American poker players are blocked from many of the online poker rooms due to American law and depositing funds into online "gambling" websites.

Click on the "Download" or "Purchase" button for the game or poker room program you want. If you are downloading a "paid" software game, you will need to provide your billing address and have a credit card. For the poker rooms, the software is free to download and you only pay if you want to play for real money.

Tips & Warnings
While it is not technically illegal for American residents to play online poker for real money, you may run into problems when trying to deposit money or withdraw money. This means that you may not be able to access real money games or get money that you have won out of an account.
