It was last modified on 15 April 2012.
You can run it in Windows, Macintosh, or Linux.

To install LogiCola in Windows:
 CLICK HERE

After you click, you'll be asked: Do you want to RUN or SAVE this file? Click RUN; and keep insisting, if asked, that yes you do want to run this file. Soon this dialog box will appear:

Or click here to install LogiCola in Windows

Teachers: Check the box to install the score processor.

After you install LogiCola, click the cola-can icon to start the program:
If you installed to your flash drive, open it using MY COMPUTER so you can get to the LogiCola icon.
 Cola-can icon
LogiCola
If you installed to your computer, the icon will be on your desktop or on your Start-menu program list.

Introduction to Logic, second editionBOOK: LogiCola goes with Gensler's Introduction to Logic (Routledge, 2010 & 2002). Click here or here to order.

MIRRORS: In case this page stops working, the same LogiCola download page is on three different sites: jcu.edu, harryhiker.com, and dropbox.com.

CLOUD SYNC: If you want to install LogiCola on multiple computers (not on a flash drive) and keep LogiCola scoring and configuration data in sync on all these computers, install a free Dropbox on each computer's desktop and turn on Cloud Sync using LogiCola's OPTIONS menu.

FURTHER UPDATES: If I modify LogiCola, you can repeat the setup process to update your program. But it's easier to update using TOOLS | UPDATE LOGICOLA on LogiCola's menu bar. Updating either way preserves your scores.

NON-WEB INSTALL: Not using the Web, you can install LogiCola to a flash drive from any computer that has LogiCola installed, using TOOLS | COPY SCORES OR PROGRAM TO FLASH DRIVE on LogiCola's menu bar.

WINDOWS VERSIONS: This current Windows version should work in Windows XP, Vista, and 7 -- whether 32- or 64-bit. For earlier Windows or DOS, use these zipped forms of the 2003 LogiCola and its score processing program, which use the same score format.

MACINTOSH & LINUX: You can also run LogiCola in Macintosh or Linux.

BLACKBOARD: You can set up Blackboard so students can submit scores as WebCT assignments; see Chris Weigand's YouTube video and written instructions.

SHIRTS: Get a LogiCola shirt (many styles available).

HANDOUT: Here's a handout about downloading LogiCola that teachers can give to their students.

YOUNGER SISTER: LogiCola has a younger sister, EthiCola, about moral philosophy.

These are things you can also access from inside LogiCola or LogiSkor:

HELP FILES: for LogiCola and for LogiSkor (LogiCola's score processor); LogiCola News.
