DOWNLOAD ILWIS 3.5, THE USER-FRIENDLY OPEN SOURCE RASTER AND VECTOR GIS

Currently, ILWIS 3.5 only runs on Microsoft software from Windows 98 and higher. Click the download yellow button to download your free copy of open source GIS ILWIS 3.5:

Free ILWIS 3.5  
made available for downloading by The World Institute for Conservation and Environment

 

DOWNLOAD your ILWIS 3.5

Open Source

 

Your ILWIS 3.5 open souce comes as a zipfile. (This is a new file that includes the help file)  If not yet installed on your computer, get this WINZIP to open your copy of the world's most user-friendly GIS, ILWIS 3.5

When the file has been downloaded, create a directory "ilwisfree" as a subdirectory on your C drive in C:\program files\ilwisfree, or if you have a separate partition you can make a new directory "ilwisfree" in your separate partition and place your zipfile in that new directory (example: D:\ilwisfree).

Extract all your data from the zipfile into the new directory

Look for a file "ilwis30.exe". Right click on that file and choose "Create a Shortcut". You will now find a new file "Shortcut to ilwis30.exe". 

Right click again and choose rename. Rename this file "ILWIS FREE". This is your shortcut file for your Start Menu. If you press it, it will start ILWIS 3.5

You need this file as a button in your Start Menu. Just press in lightly and drag it into your startbutton to the place where you want it and let it go. If you click on it, your ILWIS 3.5 will start right away.

Congratulations! You are now the proud owner of a legal copy of a fully functioning high end integrated vector and raster GIS programme with which you can carry out more applications than you will ever be able to dream up in your entire life time! Enjoy the world's most user-friendly GIS!

Now, go to the "Teach Yourself" page and download from an absolutely marvelous selection of documents that help you become a real GIS Expert. 

But there is more if you may want to do to improve your functionality. Tens of thousands of loyal ILWIS users have purchased an IILWIS 3.3 Academic license in the past, or received one as an ITC alumnus. ILWIS 3.3 Academic in fact had a number of components that were obtained under license agreements between the ITC and certain commercial GIS vendors. Those components needed to be taken out when ILWIS became open source. However, ILWIS 3.3 Academic is still available, and we highly recommend that you also download ILWIS 3.3 Academic and install it additionally in a different directory. So go through the same procedure as for ILWIS3.5, but now call your directory "ilwis3.3" (either C:\program files\ilwis3.3 of D:\ilwis3.3 ) and call your shortcut file "ILWIS 3.3 and also drag it into your start menu. This will allow you to work with both versions simultaneously, which will be tremendously useful if you have to import files from different formats, particularly images in for instance .img format as used by ERDAS IMAGINE. 

DOWNLOAD your ILWIS 3.3

Important: Ilwis 3.3 only works permanently with the license code patch, which must be downloaded here:

DOWNLOAD your ILWIS 3.3 PATCH

From our statistics, we can see that many users forget to download this patch. So, after downloading ILWIS 3.3, please don't forget to download the patch.  

After you have installed your ILWIS 3.3, Place the patch (patch331.exe) in your ilwis3.3 directory and click on it to install the patch. You can use your ILWIS3.3 simultaneously with your ILWIS3.5. 

There is an improved help available at: http://spatial-analyst.net/ILWIS/help.html

WHAT TO DO IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM?

You will be inclined to send us an email, but DON'T. We are very busy and don't respond often to support ILWIS questions. The forum is where ILWIS users help each other and your chances are much better to get a response from the Forum:. 

ILWIS FORUM

We highly recommend that you also subscribe to the ILWIS support group at https://52north.org/mailman/listinfo/ilwis. It hosts answers to many questions and enrolls you to ILWIS question-and-answer emails. 

So what is the email on the bottom-left for? For questions and comments related to the website design, if you would want us to organize a custom made training course or if you want to volunteer on translating parts of the help file.
