If you have an existing Geneious installation, we recommend you uninstall your current version and reboot your computer prior to running the latest installer.

Please be sure that you have the latest Java Runtime Environment software installed on your system. If you are installing the 64-bit Geneious software you will need to install the 64-bit JRE.
