Before you proceed with downloading `polymake`, we suggest you to spend few minutes and register at our new Wiki site. It is a steady growing resource of useful information around the polymake project, including the news announcements and FAQ lists. Upon registration, you may subscribe to the RSS feed or at least to the changes on the News page. You can not only ask questions concerning installation problems or general use, but also share your experience with other polymake users.

By the way, the response time on your question posted on the FAQ page will be approximately the same as when sent by E-mail. Should you nevertheless prefer the E-mail communication, we preserve our right to anonymously cite your questions on the FAQ page (and, indeed, our answers too) if we feel the topic could be of interest to other participants, unless you explicitly require confidentiality.

We assure that the personal data submitted for the registration will be considered strictly confidential. In particular, your e-mail address will not be propagated to anyone else.

Before you start with the installation, please check the installation prerequisites and the list of external software packages interfaced by polymake.
