After your child activates an eBook, they can download and install Cambridge One Desktop App to access it offline. Available for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
| Important: Only your child can use the app. Parents cannot log in. If your child doesn’t have a Cambridge One account yet, you can create one for them at cambridgeone.org. |
Follow these steps to install it:
For Windows and macOS
1. Log in to Cambridge One using your child's username and password
2. Select the profile icon in the top right corner, then The Cambridge One Desktop App

Now that your app is installed, you can download your child's materials.
For Linux (latest versions of Ubuntu and Debian distros)

Via Graphical User Interface (GUI)
1. Locate the AppImage file in the machine
2. Right click the icon and select Properties
3. Go to Permissions tab
4. Check the checkbox for Execute to make the file executable
5. Launch the app by double-clicking the file
