Before downloading, please read the complete installation instructions. 

NOTE: The system requirements are listed at the top of the installation instructions. If your computer does not meet the system requirements, please install the correct version of Java before downloading OpenRefine.

Click here to download OpenRefine. Select the download link for your computer's operating system.

NOTE: OpenRefine runs in a browser, like a web app, but does not require an internet connection to run. It works best on browsers based on Webkit such as Chrome, Opera, Chromium, and MS Edge, and automatically runs on your default browser. OpenRefine is unstable when run on Firefox or Internet Explorer, so it is best to choose another default browser.
