Requirements for the current release
These facts are tied to a reviewed release. If the release changes before its requirements are confirmed, this page will say so rather than reuse old minimums.
Installer requirements · v5.0.0
Requirements for this release have not been confirmed here. Check the installer’s architecture and ask your organizer before installing.
An installer choice is separate from the app’s readiness checks. Prepare the device, permissions and connection required for your round.
Match the processor and package
- On Windows, check Settings → System → About → System type. A 64-bit Intel/AMD installer is not a native ARM64 or 32-bit build.
- On Mac, check Apple menu → About This Mac for Apple silicon or Intel, and check the macOS version.
- On Linux, confirm your distribution and processor. A DEB or RPM package format alone does not establish compatibility with its libraries or desktop session. AppImage is not a promise of universal Linux support.
Prepare the device and permissions
Use an internet connection and the camera, microphone and device permissions required for your round. Complete the app’s readiness checks before assessment day.
If installation is restricted on a managed device, contact your administrator or organizer. Do not disable security protections to install Access.
This page links to the current public release. If your organizer names a different version, confirm the correct download with them before installing or updating.
