@ -52,9 +52,11 @@ Note for the future versions:
* Go to [the release page](https://gitlab.com/basile.b/dexed/-/releases),
* Choose the binaries for your platform (at the bottom of an entry, the buttons labeled `dexed.<version>.<platform>.zip`).
* Extract the executables.
* Linux: it's recommended to put them in `/home/<your account>/bin`, since it's a known system PATH and that it doesn't require the super user privileges.
* Extract the executables
* Windows: the target folder must be added to your system PATH variable. When the location is not known the background tools won't work (symbol list, todo list, DCD).
* Linux: libdexed-d shared object should be installed to `/usr/lib`. Alternatively a shortcut can be created and ENV used to indicate a search path,
e.g `env LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/<your account>/bin/dexed /home/<your account>/bin/dexed/dexed` as shortcut command
if the whole content was extracted to `/home/<your account>/bin/dexed/`.
Under Windows, the releases are compressed with the latest [7-zip beta](http://www.7-zip.org/) with the options _deflate-ultra_. In case of problem try to use 7zip.
Under Linux, the command line tool *zip* is used (_deflate_ and _-9_).
