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, before it is 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.
