 The online version runs as a "shell in a box" in your browser. No installation needed! \\ Examples of ''polymake'' code are available on the [[user_guide:start|tutorial page]]. Notice that the online version comes with a few restrictions (including missing visualization) compared to the complete version.

+=== To build polymake yourself ===
-The following is only relevant if you want/need to install polymake yourself:
    * Read the [[install:install|Installation instructions]]
-   * Download the {{:download:polymake-4.9.tar.bz2|source tarball}}
+   * Download the {{:download:polymake-4.15.tar.bz2|source tarball}}
-=== Minimal version ===
+== Minimal version ==
 The minimal version is a packager friendly version which omits the bundled sources of ''cdd'', ''lrs'', ''libnormaliz'', ''nauty'' and ''jReality''.

+=== polymake ready to run ===
+We now provide [[install:jll|prebuilt tarballs]] that can be extracted and run on Linux and macOS.
+=== MaPS ===
+You can also install polymake using the [[https://github.com/aaruni96/maps|MaPS]] system.
+First get polymake using
+<code>
+maps --deploy org.polymake.polymake/x86_64/4.13

-You may need to manually unsandbox the bundle (as it is not officially signed by Apple). For this, run
-<code>
-sudo xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/polymake.app/
-</code>
-in a terminal (assuming you installed it to /Applications, otherwise adjust the path).
-You can use the bundle also in a Jupyter notebook or in Julia. For more details see [[install:macos/bundles#Jupyter Notebooks with the Bundle|here for Jupyter]] and [[install:macos/bundles#Using the Bundle for Polymake.jl in Julia|here for Julia]]
 === Source Installation ===
 Read the [[install:macos|Installation instructions]] on how to compile the current version of polymake yourself.
-===== Other releases =====
-We publish stable and tested [[perpetualbeta| perpetual beta]] versions as a way for you to use the newest features before the release.
-If for some reason you want to obtain an older version of polymake, check out [[versions|this page]].
+=== Visualization ===
+If you use ''Safari'' as your default browser, then you need to switch to another one for polymake. Please do
+<code>
+set_custom $Visual::webbrowser=open -a "Firefox"

+inside the polymake shell. Replace ''Firefox'' by ''Google Chrome'' if you prefer this browser.
 ===== Debian, Fedora, Gentoo, Ubuntu =====
 We are proud to announce that ''polymake'' is also part of the package library of the Debian, Fedora, Gentoo and Ubuntu distributions and can be installed from their corresponding package managers. Thanks to the maintainers!

Not also that, if you install one of these packages after you have started polymake for the first time, you may have to do a ''reconfigure "common::pdfviewer";'' or ''reconfigure "common::svg";'' in the polymake shell to use the backend.
