Installing on macOS
The macOS build is not signed with an Apple Developer ID, so macOS refuses to open it the first time. Drag GibbsStudio into Applications, try to open it once and dismiss the warning, then open System Settings › Privacy & Security and press Open Anyway on the line about GibbsStudio. Once per installed version, and then it opens normally.

No Linux build yet. Tell us if you need one — we are keeping count.
Installation questions
Stuck? Contact us with your operating system version and the error message.
Get installation help →Do Community and Professional use different installers?
No. Both editions use the same installer. A Professional licence activates the Pro modules.
Which systems are supported?
Windows 10 or later, 64-bit (x64), and macOS 14.4 or later, Apple silicon (M-series). A Linux version is intended but not released; tell us if you need one.
macOS says GibbsStudio cannot be opened. What do I do?
The macOS build is not signed with an Apple Developer ID, so macOS blocks the first launch. Drag GibbsStudio into Applications, try to open it once and dismiss the warning, then open System Settings › Privacy & Security, scroll to the line about GibbsStudio and press Open Anyway. You do this once per installed version.
How do I activate a licence?
Open Help › Plugins…, select the plugin your licence covers, open its License tab and apply the licence file you were sent. Restart GibbsStudio afterwards. A plugin whose licence is missing or expired stays in the list but stays inactive.
How do updates work?
GibbsStudio checks for a newer release at startup, and Help › Check for Updates… asks at any time. On Windows it offers to install the update for you. On macOS it tells you what has been released and opens the download page; you download the new disk image and drag GibbsStudio into Applications over the old copy. Your projects, licences and settings are untouched.
Does GibbsStudio include a PHREEQC manual?
No. GibbsStudio does not change PHREEQC itself, so the original PHREEQC user's guide from the USGS applies.
The installation failed. What can I do?
Contact us with your operating system version and the error message, and we will help you sort it out.
