The DF Studio Java Web Start downloader is compatible with Mac or Windows, but requires the computer to be Java-enabled. Many new operating systems are not automatically equipped with Java, and it must be installed by the user at the first encounter with a website that incorporates Java applications.

The DFS Downloader application does not require Java. Please see Install the DFS Downloader to check compatibility and prevent installing Java unnecessarily.
