PSPP is the free alternative to SPSS. It mirrors SPSS in procedures, output, etc., so there is no learning curve of which to speak. Schools are accepting this statistical program, so spread the word! A colleague, Valerie Mills, shared with me the download process and instructions (screen shots attached with instructions so you can print):
Go to the page https://www.gnu.org/software/pspp/get.html
1. Now go under binaries and pick Windows installers and click on the word “installers”
2. This opens up another window
3. You will now pick the download for your system (example: I have 64bits windows 10, so I used the PSPP 2017-09-09 daily 64bits)
4. Click on the one you picked
5. It will download to your system
6. Once it is downloaded, close the browser and click on the install file that is downloaded and let it run
7. It will install an icon on your desktop
8. It is now ready for use once it is installed.
9. It will also attach the user manual.
