Linux

      Arch Linux users can install from the user repository: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/edfbrowser/

      Debian and derivatives (Ubuntu, Mint) users can install EDFbrowser using apt-get but the versions offered are rather old and I don't recommend them.
      Compile from source instead as described below, it's very easy.


Mac

64-bit Windows 7 and later

If there's a 32-bit version of EDFbrowser present on your system, remove it first before installing the 64-bit version.


32-bit Windows 2000, XP, and later

Do not use this version on 64-bit operating systems, it lacks some features.
The usage of this 32-bit version is discouraged. It's strongly recommended to use the 64-bit version!
The plan is to not offer the 32-bit windows version anymore, so be prepared.
