PERMAS4EDU (https://www.intes.de/edu) has essentially the same functionality as the commercial version of PERMAS. However, some limitations are introduced in the educational edition to prevent commercial usage. It is based on version 20 and available on Windows 10/11 and Linux, respectively. Therefore it is well suited for self-study and further training. Currently, the repository is just a mirror of the former Researchgate project PERMAS4EDU. For all new examples (as of April 4th 2023) we would like to use the module names from PERMAS to improve the directory structure.
