Can anyone provide a walk through of getting the Lynx browser up and running on Windows 7. I want to do some accessibility testing with this browser but I can't find any simple steps to getting it working.

  • This one is currently at version 2.8.3, which as the author states is 10+ years out of date. For the latest versions, see the link in Jonathan Hult's answer, or see the list of maintained Windows Binaries on the official Lynx website.

  • Why isn't Lynx maintained if it's apparently so useful? Aug 1, 2015 at 0:04
  • @SarahofGaia It is not useful. It is a text based browser which is of very little use.

  • Lynx is very useful to scrape sites where you need to log in etc. Jul 25, 2021 at 6:50

There is a Windows installer for the latest stable version 2.8.7 located here.
