# Setting Up Your Account

### Download the app

Find the latest version of Anytype for your OS at [download.anytype.io](https://download.anytype.io)

Anytype is installed:

* In Windows 10 or above, it is usually located:\
  `C:\Users\<username>\Appdata\Local\Programs\anytype2\Anytype.exe`\
  **username** stands for the name of your user aka working directory.
* For MacOS, it's: `HHD > Users >`` `*`Username`*` ``> Library > Application Support > anytype`
* For Linux, you'll find your work directory in `~/.config/anytype`
* For Android, it’s your default location, usually: \_device/data/app\_​.\
  We also store some caches: *device/data/data/io.anytype.app*
* For iOS, it's the standard install path determined by the iOS.

There's no browser version of the app. Anytype is a stand-alone software, that works on desktop or mobile devices. There are many points of vulnerability in-browser apps that would compromise our commitment to data security and encryption.
