Installing on Windows
Before you begin:
Note: If you have a 64-bit Windows system, use the 64-bit installation package. It includes both 32-
bit and 64-bit versions of ENVI.
You need Administrator privileges to install ENVI. If you do not have such privileges, the installation
process will fail because it cannot modify the system configuration.
2. In the Save As dialog, specify a location to save the executable file you are downloading
(envi50win32_setup.exe for 32-bit Windows or envi50win64_setup.exe for 64-bit Windows)
and click Save.
3. After the download is complete, go to the location where you saved the envi50win32_setup.exe
or envi50win64_setup.exe file and double-click on it to begin installing ENVI.

Installing on UNIX
Before you begin:
If you plan to install ENVI in a public directory, be sure you have root (or similar) permissions before
running the installer.
1. Choose a place to install ENVI on your system and create that directory. The default installation
path is /usr/local/exelis.
If you need to create the directory, be sure you have root (or similar) permissions, and issue the
following commands:
% mkdir /usr/local/exelis (to create)
2. Select the appropriate download link for your UNIX platform. Click on the link to download ENVI
5.0. The ENVI installation file is a compressed archive; save it in the directory in which you are
installing ENVI (/usr/local/exelis by default).
% gunzip envi50platform.tar.gz
% tar xf envi50platform.tar
% ./install.sh
6. If you choose not to create symbolic links, you can set up ENVI by issuing the following
command:
source install_dir/envi50/bin/envi_setup
where install_dir is the main installation directory. Then run the ENVI application.

Installing on Macintosh
Before you begin:
The Apple X11 Window System must be installed for Mac OS X; it is not installed by default.
1. Click on the link to download the full version of ENVI 5.0. Note the location to which you are
downloading the PKG file.
