Hi All,

I'm new to the software and to the site, and apologies in advance, but I am not
able to find where the download link is for this software.

The http://www.povray.org/download/ download page includes a lot of info about
the software, but there is no apparent link to actually access the most recent
version.   Can someone point me to the actual software, not just the description
of it?

Thanks in advance.

If you're running Windows, the nice big link "Download Windows 
Installer" straight at the center of the page should do the job.

If you're running Linux, you might want to carefully read the "POV-Ray 
Source Code" section on the page, most notably the sentence about the 
"github repository". If you follow that link, at the bottom of the 
sidebar you'll find a button labelled "Download ZIP" that will get you 
the source code.

Have fun :-)

:(  I'm using a Mac.  :(  I'm sorry, I should have indicated that earlier.

The bad news is that unfortunately there is no official Mac version of 
POV-Ray yet.

The good news, however, is that there /does/ exist an /unofficial/ Mac 
port - which (as far as I can tell from a distance) has a much better 
GUI than the official Windows version anyway.

The unofficial Mac port is faithfully maintained by Yvo Smellenbergh; 
you should be able to find binaries at:
