2.4 KiB
BTT-Writer Desktop
A tool to translate the Bible into your own language.
Installation
The Releases have installers for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows installations. git
is bundled with these installers (and is a specific version known to work).
Linux users should unzip the release file and install it as BTT-Writer in the /opt/
directory. The included BTT-Writer.desktop
file should be copied to the /usr/share/applications/
directory to be picked up by the OS.
macOS users can unzip the application and put it where they want it (usually the /Applications/
directory).
Both Linux and Mac users will need to install git
to run the program. Linux users can probably do this with sudo apt install git
, while Mac users are encouraged to use the version of git-scm
available here.
The program is not signed for either macOS or Windows, so users will need to deal with the warnings, etc., involved with that.
