## Installation

### Windows

1. Download and run the Windows installer
2. Verify the Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable is installed. If needed, visit the download site (this is offered during install).

### *nix

For *nix versions, you must have zlib ,libSDL, libSDL_image, and libguichan already installed as well as the development libraries (add `-dev` to the package name)! Complile the source as root as follows (replace `x.x.x` with the version downloaded):
`# tar xvzf kat5200-x.x.x.tar.gz`
`# cd kat5200-x.x.x`
`# ./configure`
`# make`
`# make install`
Also, note that libguichan versions are generally not compatiblity with each other yet, you may need to download the source and compile it as well (check versions above).

### Updates

Versions <= 0.4.1 are incompatible with current versions.
