LJM Software Installer Downloads - T4, T7, T8, Digit

The T8 is currently only supported with LJM 1.22+.

The downloads on this page install LabJack software for T-series and Digit devices. Most operating system and architecture combinations have their own installer. After running the appropriate installer, we suggest going through the Quickstart Tutorial for your device.

• Looking for software for the U3, U6, or UE9? See the following resources: Windows - UD Driver Installation, macOS/Linux - Exodriver

• Looking for software for the U12? See the U12 Installation Packages

• Do you just want our LJM library resources and none of our programs such as LJLogM and Kipling? See our Minimal LJM Installers page.

• Are you trying to package our software with your own software? See Integrating LabJack Software into an Installer.

Windows (x86_64) LJM Software Installer Downloads

The drop-down below contains the installers for Windows Vista through Windows 11. There is support for both 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems.

Requirements

This installer requires an internet connection if .NET 2.0 is not already installed. To install without internet access and without having .NET 2.0 already installed, first install the Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service pack 1 (Full Package). Alternatively, the Basic installer may be used without .NET. See the Example installer to create a custom installer to deploy your code in a single installer alongside LabJack dependencies.

For older software installer versions, see our Archived Releases.

macOS x64 LJM Software Installer Downloads

The drop-down below contains installation packages for Intel-based Mac OS X for T-series and Digit devices (64-bit only.) If you have a Mac with an Apple processor (M1, M2, etc.) please use the ARM64 macOS installer instead.

MacOS 14 has introduced a breaking change to rpaths.
A fix for the time being is to add “/usr/local/lib” to your “DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH” environment variable.
This can be done by adding this line to your ~/.zprofile file:

CODE

export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH
