Since Version 13, documentation for Wolfram products can be installed separately from the main product on your local machine.

Documentation installers for Mathematica are available in your Wolfram Account. If you cannot find your installers there, please check your Wolfram User Portal on the My Products and Services tab. If you have access to Wolfram products through your organization via single sign-on (SSO), product installers, including documentation, can be found on your organization’s site info page.

Downloading the Documentation Installer from Your Wolfram Account

  1. Quit any previous installations of Wolfram products that are running on your machine.
  2. Sign in to your Wolfram Account.
  3. Click the Products & Services tab.

  4. Select the product associated with the documentation you would like to install.

  5. Under Access ► Desktop, click See more download/language options and previous versions.

  6. In the Downloads table, click Download in the Documentation Only (English) row.

    We recommend using the Wolfram Download Manager (“Standard Download” column). Alternatively, click in the “Direct File Download” column to download the documentation installer without a download manager.

  7. Wait for the download to complete.

Next, install the documentation.

Downloading the Documentation Installer from the User Portal
