Download
Before you hit download, you should know that it has a “Pro” version with additional themes and out of the box settings worth $39. And the “Core” version is completely free to download. You can read the comparison between “Pro” and “Core” on the download page.

In my opinion, the Core version should be sufficient, and if you are experienced enough, you can change the settings to make it a Pro version. So we recommend the Core version for general use.
Just so you know, if you purchase the Pro version this time (within March 17), you will be helping war-torn Ukraine as the profits foes to humanitarian aid via charities.
