The primary viewer for Second Life is [[Viewer 2]], available on the main [http://secondlife.com/support/downloads/ Second Life Downloads] page.  That page also has links to the latest Viewer 2 Beta, a pre-release of the viewer next in line to become the new default Viewer 2.
 
The viewers below provide alternate means of accessing Second Life. 
 
{{KBnote|If you experience problems using any of the viewers below, you may be asked to try to replicate the problem using the official Viewer 2 release, since it is the supported viewer.}}
