JHOVE is currently available for downloading as version 1.14.<ref name="project">[http://jhove.openpreservation.org/ Project page].</ref> It is licensed under the [[LGPL]]v2. The download includes both a [[command line]] and a [[GUI]] version. It is designed so that third parties can attach different "heads" to the software, and so can be integrated with other applications that need to validate files. It can be run on any Unix, Windows, or Macintosh OS X platform which supports Java 1.6.<ref>[https://github.com/openpreserve/jhove Github page]</ref>
