Installation and Updates

Chances are that you've already installed a version of Ulysses, or else you wouldn't be reading this. ;)

However, some things of note: Ulysses should be installed using an Administrator account. If you're using Ulysses on your own computer, you're most certainly using such an account. In case you're unsure, check the Users System Preferences.

Ulysses features an auto-update system built into the application. Whenever a new version is released, you'll get notified via a small panel where you can check on the changes and decide if you want to update right away or dismiss the update for later.

What gets installed and where?
- Ulysses does not install any files besides some preferences (application and exporters) and a folder inside "Application Support", which holds backup-copies of your projects.
Can I manually update to a new version?
- You can manually update your installed version of Ulysses by using the stand-alone updater on our download site.
