What are the technical requirements for VL Live?

Visual Liturgy Live is a Windows desktop software application. Once installed it runs from the hard drive of your computer just like any other Windows application.

VL Live was developed and tested under Windows Vista, so we know it's Vista-compatible. We also support VL Live under Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows 7 and Windows 8. The minimum requirements for running VL Live are:
• a PC running Windows XP or higher with at least 128MB RAM and a 400MHz processor. If Windows runs well, Visual Liturgy Live will run well too.
• at least 200MB of free space on your hard disk drive
• a monitor that works at least 800x600 in SVGA mode

An internet connection is required to make use of the internet features of VL Live, particularly the online updates of content. It is possible to use VL Live without the internet, but not recommended.

I am using Apple Mac. How can I install VL Live on it?

Currently there is no specific Mac version of Visual Liturgy Live. That said, many users have had success using a PC emulator. This works particularly well if you have an Intel Mac, which will be the case if you Mac is less than five years old. In order to run Visual Liturgy Live on an emulator, you need three things for your Mac: 1. A PC emulator. Examples include: Parallels, VMWare Fusion, Virtual Box (free). Once the emulator is installed, you also need to install Windows XP or higher on that emulator. Then install Visual Liturgy Live in the normal way as for any other Windows installation.
