Download manuals

The following manuals can be downloaded from within the software itself:

  • Getting Started...: Clarke, K.R., Gorley, R.N. (2015) Getting started with PRIMER v7. PRIMER-e: Auckland, New Zealand.
  • User/Tutorial Manual...: Clarke KR, Gorley RN (2015) PRIMER v7: User Manual/ Tutorial. PRIMER-e: Auckland, New Zealand.
  • Methods Manual...: Clarke KR, Gorley RN, Somerfield PJ, Warwick RM (2014) Change in marine communities: an approach to statistical analysis and interpretation, 3rd edition. PRIMER-e: Auckland, New Zealand.
  • PERMANOVA+ Manual...: Anderson MJ, Gorley RN, Clarke KR (2008) PERMANOVA+ for PRIMER: Guide to software and statistical methods. PRIMER-e: Auckland, New Zealand.

You must be connected to the internet to download the manuals. Simply click on the Help menu item in PRIMER, then choose which manual you wish to download as a pdf. Each of these manuals are a substantial tome and together these will provide you with virtually all the information you will need to run the routines, analyse your data, produce graphics and interpret relevant output.

Once downloaded the manuals can then be read and searched (at any time, whether you are connected to the internet or not) and can be printed, if you wish, for your own personal use. The manuals are also freely available for perusal on our website's Learning Hub.

Please note that the PERMANOVA+ Manual will only be available from within the software if you have purchased the PERMANOVA+ add-on (see 'How do I know if I have the PERMANOVA+ add-on?').
