Recommended

The normal and recommended way to install VLC on a Windows operating system is via the installer package.

Step 0: Download and launch the installer

Download the installer package from the VLC download page for Windows. After you download the installer package, double click on the file to begin the install process. If you're using Windows Vista, 7, 8 or 10 and have UAC (User Account Control) enabled, the operating system may prompt you to grant VLC administrator permissions. Click Yes to continue the installation process.

Step 1: Select an installer language

Before you can continue, you must select the language that you want the installer to use to display information to you. After you select a language, click OK.

Step 2: Review the Welcome screen

The VLC installer recommends that you close all other applications before continuing the installation process. When you're ready to proceed with the installation process, click Next.

Step 3: Read License agreement

Read the Terms of Service. Once you're done reading, click Next.

Step 4: Select components

Use this menu to customize your install. Choose all of the components you wish to install and whether you want VLC to be your default media player or not. Once you are done, click Next.

Step 5: Pick a location

Click Browse... to choose the destination installation folder. After you've identified the desired folder, click Install.

Step 6: Now installing

Wait as VLC is installed on your machine. It shouldn't take too long. Then click 'Show details' to see more information about the progress of the installation.

Once installation is complete, you may choose to run VLC or read VLC's release notes. Click Finish to complete the installation process and close the installer.

Alternative

If you want to perform an unattended (or silent) installation of VLC, you can do so via a command-line interface. Type in 'filename' /L='languagecode' /S. For example, the English installation would look something like vlc-2.0.1-win32.exe /L=1033 /S.

PowerShell

Installing VLC using PowerShell is as easy.

Command Prompt

You can also install VLC using the command prompt.

macOS

  1. Download the macOS package from the VLC macOS download page.
  2. Double-click on the icon of the package: an icon will appear on your Desktop, right beside your drives.
  3. Open it and drag the VLC application from the resulting window to the place where you want to install it (it should be /Applications).

Note: You may need to delete older versions of VLC on your computer before you can successfully install the latest version.

Red Hat and derivatives have different instructions if EPEL (Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux) is not set up. Red Hat Network (RHN) users should verify that they have enabled the optionals and extras channels for RHN subscriptions.
