The primary viewer for Second Life is [[Viewer 2]], available on the main [http://secondlife.com/support/downloads/ Second Life Downloads] page.  This is the Viewer that Linden Lab officially supports.  You will also find the latest Viewer 2 Beta, if you would like to try out the latest version of Viewer 2, before we make it generally available as the default download for new Residents.
 
Some experienced Second Life Residents also use [[Alternate viewers]] to access Second Life. This wiki page is a comprehensive list of other approved viewers. \
