How to Download and Install Anki
Choose your device below and use the official download link. Installation normally takes only a few minutes, and you do not need an AnkiWeb account unless you want to sync cards between devices.
Windows 10 or 11
Install Anki on Windows
Recent Anki releases require a 64-bit version of Windows 10 or Windows 11. Most Windows computers use the standard x64 download.
- Open the official Anki download page.
- Under Windows, choose Windows 10+ (x64). Choose the ARM download only if you know your Windows 11 computer uses an ARM processor.
- Open the downloaded installer and follow the installation prompts.
- Open Anki from the Start menu or its new desktop shortcut.
macOS
Install Anki on a Mac
The current download page provides separate versions for Apple silicon and Intel Macs. It also lists the current macOS requirement before you download.
- Open the official Anki download page.
- Choose Apple Silicon for a Mac with an M-series chip, or Intel for an older Intel-based Mac.
- Open the downloaded file and drag Anki into the Applications folder.
- Open Anki from Applications.

iPhone and iPad

Optional
Sync Anki between your devices
Create a free AnkiWeb account if you want the same decks and review progress on your computer and phone. Sign in with that account inside each Anki app, then use its Sync button.
If you already have different cards on more than one device, read each first-sync message carefully before choosing whether to upload or download.
