Yes, you follow the "installers" link to the awardspace.info website and pick any of the links under downloads. The most recent is from September 5. For you, it doesn't matter whether you click on the 32- or 64-bit version; I'd pick the 64-bit version.
It will redirect you to sourceforge and download a file like pspp-20200905-daily-64bits-setup.exe. You should execute that to install PSPP. In doing that, you are trusting awardspace.info and sourceforge. I trust them and have done this, but I wanted to mention it because there is some risk and you should definitely not trust random websites. The installer should set up PSPP like other Windows software and you should be able to start using it. -Alan On 11/6/2020 4:40 PM, Ester Quintana wrote: > Hi Alan, > > Thank you for your response.
