Just search the PF or Google for free SPICE download. I think LTSpice has a good free download, especially for students.
 
Thanks berkeman ...LPspice is cool ... Though still trying to get accustom to its tools
 
What are the differences between this spiceS ? @Foiwater
 
You will have to try them out and see - I don't use any of these I use multisim but it's limited especially if you are using the program for actual designs

I've heard the best of the above is ngspice but I have no support for that claim
 
LTspice is at this point almost industry-standard for discrete analog design.
 
Have downloaded ngspice but the setup file seems to be missing in the package ... Maybe I don't know how to install it... I need help
