Download FlowJo v10
FlowJo installer downloads can be found here. Please download the correct version for your system (Mac or PC). Please note, the newer versions of FlowJo only support 64 bit operating systems. Most modern computers use 64 bit operating systems.
PC Installation (Mac installation instructions following)
First, choose the appropriate PC version (see above) and download v10.
Once the download completes and you click on the download, do not be alarmed if you see this security warning (see below) as this may or may not occur. If this occurs, your system is working correctly and is normal. Click Yes to continue:
The installer will begin downloading and you should see a progress bar:
Once the progress bar reaches 100% you will see the Introduction screen. Click “Next” to continue with installation.
The next screen is the Choose Install Folder. In the bottom right it asks “Where would you like to install FlowJo?” We strongly recommend that users do not change this and leave it as the default path C:/Program Files/FlowJo. After making your selection, click “Next”.
The following screen will ask you about shortcut placement. The FlowJo installer allows you to place a shortcut for FlowJo into any place on your computer you like. If this is a computer workstation with many users, you may want to select “Create Icons for All Users”. This will make an icon for FlowJo in every user’s folder. When finished making your selections, click “Next”.
The next screen will be the Pre-Installation summary screen. This screen shows the choices you have made so far. If you need to make changes, you can click the “Previous” button to return to any of the previous pages. Otherwise, click “Install”: (version 10 is a Java application so the installer will install the Java Runtime Environment and the FlowJo related files).
The following progress screen will appear. This step may take a while.
Once the installation finishes you will get the Install Complete screen. Click “Done”. Congratulations! You’ve successfully installed FlowJo v10!
