You will need to either sign in and purchase a Verbum subscription or choose to install the free Verbum desktop app in step 1 below. Follow the steps below to install Verbum Bible Software for macOS.
Note: Click here for help with Windows installation.
Step 1 - Download VerbumSetup
Download the VerbumMac.dmg file to install Verbum Bible Software from here. Ensure you are logged in to verbum.com with the account you used to purchase Verbum.
Note: If after clicking the link you see two options, Download (M-series) and Download (Intel), click the icon in the top left corner of the screen, and select About this Mac. If you see an M-series chip (e.g., Apple M1), download the M-series version of Verbum. If you see an Intel processor, download the Intel version of Verbum.
Step 2 - Install Verbum
- Open the downloaded VerbumMac.dmg file from the Downloads folder (or wherever you saved the file).
- Drag and drop the Verbum application file to the Applications folder.
- Open Verbum from the Applications folder.
Step 3 - Sign in to your Account
Sign in with your Verbum.com email and password. Signing in for the first time may take a while. Please do not interrupt the process.
Step 4 - Download and Index
After you login, Verbum will ask you to download your Library. There are a number of different download options available from the dropdown. We recommend choosing Full Download for the optimal experience. Then click Continue.
Verbum will install and download your library. The download process may take a while. Please do not interrupt the process.
Note: Once the download process is finished, it will index what has been downloaded. The whole process may take a number of hours depending on the Library and computer specifications.
Once the download has completed, the program will open to your Dashboard, and you will be able to start using Verbum.
Note: Even though you can start using the software at this point, it might still be indexing which may impact performance.
