Installation
When you download Reason, installation instructions appropriate for your version are included in the package.
If you are upgrading Reason, the document reason_upgrade.php will direct you to upgrade scripts and instructions.
We are hard at work simplifying the process of Reason installation, and are happy to answer any questions you may have about installation problems. If you need help, you can reach us through the Reason discussion google group, or just e-mail reason-discussion@googlegroups.com.
If you are interested in evaluating Reason, another option is to request a pre-configured virtual machine, playable by VMware player, that is already setup with Ubuntu Linux and a working install of Reason.
