Citavi on the Mac
Download Citavi
On Apple devices, Citavi can only be used if you install Windows on your Mac.
Citavi under Linux
Under Linux, Citavi 3.4 can be run with Wine. It is not necessary to install Windows. Please note: the current version, Citavi 4.X, will not work on Linux.
Installing on a Mac Right now, Citavi runs only on Windows. However, you have a few different options if you want to use Citavi on your Mac. There are three third-party solutions (Parallels Desktop, VMware Fusion, and Oracle VirtualBox) which let you run a real copy of Windows on your Mac.

Alternatives
For Linux and Mac, we recommend using alternative, free reference management software such as Zotero, Mendeley, Qiqqa, Colwiz, EndNote Basic, JabRef or BibDesk (for Mac only). Click here for an overview of various reference management programmes with their pros and cons.
In our class entitled 'Web-based Reference Management' (Webbasierte Literaturverwaltung), we provide an introduction to Zotero.
In our class with the Fachschaft WIAI entitled 'Reference Management with LaTeX' (Literaturverwaltung mit Latex), we provide an introduction to JabRef.
