The app for Amazon Alexa is limited exclusively to PCs sold through HP, Lenovo, and Acer, but you install it to any PC.

As usual, there are some caveats, but for those who want a peek at what Alexa can do you for you on the go, this is what you need to get started.

Mac: Get the free Reverb app for Amazon’s Alexa. And don’t worry if you want to use Alexa on your Mac, there’s a Mac version of Reverb, for that as well. Here’s the official description from the Mac App Store: Reverb allows you to interact with Alexa from anywhere. Feb 22, 2018  Alexa for Mac is always ready to play your favourite music, provide weather and news updates, answer questions, create lists, and much more. Built for macOS. How to Use Alexa on a Mac If your machine doesn’t run Windows 10, you can’t download Alexa, but you can use the Alexa app in your browser.

I have nearly 30 smart devices connected to my router and I do not have the luxury of turning off one by one and to check. Also I can not turn off this echo dot. I tried with this Android app call 'fing', but couldn't find. But I found a device with MAC vendor call 'Espressif'. Asking Alexa 'what is your MAC. Jun 18, 2018  The app for Amazon Alexa is limited exclusively to PCs sold through HP, Lenovo, and Acer, but you install it to any PC. As usual, there are some caveats, but for those who want a peek at what.

Amazon Alexa is currently a single executable file called 'Alexa_App_for_PC_Installer_1_2_9' at 134MB in size.

  1. Install the app and follow prompts.
  2. Launch app from Start menu.
  3. Log in using your Amazon account.
  4. Those outside the U.S. may need to change system language.
  5. Optionally enable 'Launch app on sign into this computer' under Alexa settings for auto-start feature.

Installation of the app will automatically grab Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 if your PC does not already have it loaded.

Presumably, newer versions of Alexa will become available. This version we are providing is version 1.2.9.115 (Shopping assistant v1.0.200243.0).

If you would like to show the Alexa app all the time in the Windows 10 taskbar go to Windows Settings > Personalization > Taskbar > Select which icons appear on the taskbar and enable Alexa (it is off by default).

It is unclear if the app will auto-update itself or a new installer will have to be provided later.

Note: This installation file was acquired by Windows Central and is unofficially distributed. As always, be careful where you get stray .exe files from on the internet and use a virus scanner.

What works and what doesn't

Unless your PC is officially supported (unlikely) and you have custom firmware for Alexa (also questionable) the feature for Wake word which lets you call Alexa via voice will not work. That means to use Alexa on PC you need to press the blue Alexa button in the app manually.

Other than the 'wake word' limitation everything else behaves just as Amazon had planned it for PC users. Here is a short list of things that you can try with Alexa:

If you already use Microsoft's Cortana around 90 percent of this will be redundant except for shopping on Amazon, using Amazon skills (third-party apps) and playing Amazon Music.

GIMP for Unix-like systems. If available, the official package from your Unix-like distribution is the recommended method of installing GIMP! An easy way to compile and install GIMP and other great Free software on your Mac is by using Macports. The installer allows you to choose from a large directory of packages. To install gimp using.
