Windows (Microsoft)
Requires: Microsoft Windows (98-Seven).
Install: No installation needed. Double-click the executable to start.
Removal: Delete the binary executable.
Mac OS X
Requires: Mac OS X 10.2 or above. PowerPC G4 or Intel.
Install: Extract it from the DMG. Drop the program to /Applications or /Users/username/Applications. Double-click the Padded application to start.
Removal: Delete the application.
Linux
Requires: Kernel 2.2.14 or above. Pentium CPU or above, X11. LibSSL is recommended but not essential.
Install: Install dependencies, if needed. Copy the executable to /usr/local/bin and grant it execute permissions: chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/padded.
Removal: Delete the binary executable.
Trouble-shooting: Resolving Padded's LibSSL dependencies can be an issue for new users. From v2.12, Padded can do without LibSSL on Linux by disabling the functionality which depends on it.
Windows (WINE)
Requires: Wine 0.9.25 or better.
Install: Ensure you have Wine installed. Copy the executable to a handy location. Run it using: wine ./padded.exe
Removal: Delete the binary executable.
Note: Wine is now considered stable. In testing, Padded runs well on Wine, needing only the base install and no extras to function.
Windows (ReactOS)
Requires: ReactOS 0.3.4 or better.
Install: See "Windows (Microsoft)" section above.
Removal: Delete the binary executable.
Note: ReactOS is itself in alpha-level development. While Padded generally works on ReactOS, we can't guarantee it'll work with each release as the underlying ReactOS subsystems are rather fluid.
