                      Is there an option to use CalcMe in a desktop version?

                      CalcMe is the JavaScript-based online calculator that replaced Wiris CAS (the original Java-based calculator) in 2017. The math engine behind it's the same. Still, with the transition, we've got rid of the Java applets in the ones that were Wiris CAS based that gave so many compatibility problems with various browsers and operating systems.

                      Wiris CAS had an offline version, Wiris Desktop, that could be downloaded and installed as a local application. Also, since 2017, although it could continue to be used if it was already downloaded, it was no longer supported as users were encouraged to begin the transition to CalcMe

                      In summary, even if you have the credentials and the right environment to use the old calculator, we strongly recommend using CalcMe. Take into account that the updated manuals are intended for the new version of the tool.
